Research: Wreck of last US slave ship mostly intact on coast [View all]

Researchers have made another discovery about the wreckage of the Clotilda along the coast of Alabama.

Most of the wooden ship remains intact, according to a recently released report. More than 100 African captives were transported across the Atlantic Ocean in 1860 in a pen that remains standing onboard.

The remains of the ship have been studied since they were discovered a few years ago near Mobile. Jim Delgado is one of the researchers and says that the fact that the ship remains mostly in one piece enhances its historical value.
