Surviving Clotilda
26 min · History, Documentary
The story of the last slave ship to ever reach America's shores: the brash captain who sailed her, the wealthy businessman who paid for her, and the 110 people whose resilience turned horror into hope.
In July 1860, the schooner Clotilda slipped quietly into the dark waters of Mobile, Ala., holding 110 Africans stolen from their homes and families, smuggled across the sea, and illegally imported to be sold into slavery. Surviving Clotilda is the extraordinary story of the last slave ship ever to reach America's shores: the brash captain who built and sailed her, the wealthy white businessman whose bet set the cruel plan in motion, and the 110 men, women, and children whose resilience turned horror into hope.
