Wreck of Alabama Ship Might be Last American Slave Ship-- Part 1

From AL.com  "Wreck found by reporter may be last American slave ship, archaeologists say" by Ben Raines.

Using historical records and accounts from old-timers, the long lost wreck of the Clotilda may have been found.  It is thought to be the very last slave ship to bring its human cargo to the  United States in 1860.

The remains were found partially buried in mud alongside an island in the lower Mobile-Tensaw Delta, a few miles north of the city of Mobile.  They were exposed by the recent low tides brought on by the same weather system that brought the "Bomb Cyclone" to the U.S. east coast.

The site is accessible only by boat.
