Oh: Would you mind changing one sentence?

>>In 1792, he used an atrocity committed aboard a slave ship called the Recovery, in an attempt to raise public outrage.<<

To:
In 1792, in an attempt to raise public outrage, he drew attention to an atrocity committed aboard the slave ship Recovery.

That sentence bothered me when I re-read it - it's not exactly a misplaced modifier, but it could be misread if someone overlooks the comma.
