Reporter north of mobile bay, ben raines bolted us to where he believes there is a link to americas original sin, the last ship to bring human cargo from africa. Pulling back a blanket. There was the ship. Raines, a reporter with al. Com. Shot the video of the wreckage of the ship mostly buried in mud. Exposed by low tide. The aerial photo shows the outloon of the wooden hull, star board side in plain view. Raines spent three months studying records, skap tins journal and insurance documents. Proving it its definitely the ship, would mean raising the wreck. It is the right size. In the right location. Construction techniques show it is the right age. Solving the mystery is in the mud. Solving the mystery is in the mud. In 1860, a year before the civil war, owning slaves was still legal across the south. But importing them had been outlawed. Timothy mayer, wealthy alabama plantation owner made a sinister bet he could break the law and bought the clatilda. Outfitted it at his own cost. Set out to do tight prove he could. Mainer sent the schooner nearly 6,000 miles to what its benin, west africa. Cam tin William Foster returned months later with 110 slaves, mostly teenagers and snuck them back into mobile bay. On july 9th, 1860, foster unloaded the slaves into a swamp. And on mayers orders, burned the ship, hoping to destroy any trace of the crime. Awe off as i, you know, studied it more. It became this more profound moment of holy cow what this means off to the families whose lives were interrupted and brought here and the generations since. Africatown, a few miles from the shipwreck was settled by the clatildas freed slaves after the civil war. Many descendants still live leer today. The name was gumpa. Gumpa. Later changed to peter lee. Allen marshal and james lee are peter lees great, great grandchildren. He survived the clatilda and settled in africatown. They were stronger than if their struggles. Yeah, and here we are. We are the results. Roughly 10 million slaves survived the dreaded Middle Passage from africa to the new world. Many clatilda descendants uniquely know where their ancestors came from, when they got here and even, on which ship. I take pride in the fact that they were able to survive. That passage to america. William greene had two of ancestors aboard the clatilda. Regardless of how uh you got here. Theyre your ancestors. Often times, maybe under the best of circumstances. But, yet, you are here because of them. What happens next is up to state and federal officials. The sort of choice the clatildas human cargo never could have imagined.
