CLOTILDA: LAST AMERICAN SLAVE SHIP
This special ties in with Nat Geo’s recently launched Into the Depths podcast series that follows Black scuba divers searching for slave shipwrecks around the world (also featured in National Geographic magazine’s March cover story). This documentary is about the most intact slave shipwreck found to date, and the only one for which we know the full story of its voyage, its passengers and their descendants: the Clotilda, which in July 1860 carried 110 kidnapped Africans to slavery in Alabama. For the first time since the ship arrived in America, maritime archaeologists enter the sunken schooner in a dangerous dive. Premieres on Nat Geo Monday, Feb. 7 14
