Esmerelda

Noah and Ariel Dorfman, a professor at Duke University discuss the history of the Chilean ship, the B.E. Esmeralda. The ship is part of the Tall Ship celebration, and is visiting New London, Connecticut today. Of all the Tall Ships, this one is the most controversial, because it had been used to hold and torture political prisoners.
