Remains of Clotilda Might Have Been Found-- Part 5

Sylvianne Diouf wrote a book on the Clotilda and her slaves "Dreams of Africa in Alabama" in 2007.

Timothy Meaher bought the Clotilda, a two-masted schooner, for $35,000 and hired William Foster to captain the ship to Africa with instructions to purchase 100 slaves for $9,000 in gold.  Once in Dahomey, he met with black African slave traders and made his purchases.

On the way back to the United States, the Clotilda survived a collision with a Portuguese warship that had given chase and a storm that destroyed a mast.
