Hello,
My name is Claudia I am a direct descendant of the Clotilda Africans. The last known slave ship that illegally carried slaves to Mobile, Alabama in 1860.
In 1860 slavery was abolished. Due to a bet or say madami of a challenge Timothy Meaher a rich Planation owner placed wagered 110 slaves were transported and smuggled to Mobile Bay.
The story sounds unreal but it is real...and I am honored to be part of such history.
Recently wreckage of the ship is believed to be found.
