These instruments are special.

The wood's from boats.

Migrants from Africa travelled in them.

Many died on the journey.

Prisoners in a Milan prison learn to make the instruments.

Enrico Allorto's their teacher.

Prisoners find the migrants' things in the boats.

The people died on the way to Europe.

They just wanted a good life.

27,870 migrants died at sea.

Andrea's a prisoner.

He says the things in the boats make him think.

Now, he understands his problems are small.

This project started about 10 years ago.

The prisoners make violins and other instruments.

Then, the 'Orchestra of the Sea' started.

It just gave its first performance in Milan.

For Claudio, another prisoner, it's a way to remember the migrants.

It also helps prisoners.

They learn a job.

The prison let Claudio go to the performance.

The instruments are different colours.

They make people think of the migrants' journey.

But the boats give hope to men like Claudio too.
