The Hunt for Sunken Slave Ships
Wed. February 16th at 7 pm
400 years after American slavery began, Black divers are searching for shipwrecks to unveil the lost stories of African Americans ancestors. DWP (Diving with a Purpose) seeks to piece together the lost stories of those who came to the United States on slave ships. More than 12,000 ships made over 40,000 voyages in 250 years of slave trade. To date, there are only five sunken slave ships in the maritime history database.
