They had names
10 years ago a migrant ship sank off the coast of Libya, killing over a thousand people from forty countries. Countless such ships have been lost to the sea over the last decade of the migrant crisis but only one – 'Il Barcone', has been lifted from the seafloor, full of the dead, and given a second life.
