Captured by the Vincennes The Voyage of the Julia Dean to the African Coast--Trapped by an American Cruiser and Brought to Norfolk But Not Condemned From the San Francisco Call. "About two years before the secession war," said Joseph Franklin, a well-known citizen of the First ward, "I shipped as cabin boy on the bark Julia Dean, a very fast sailer, which had a regular tonnage of 750, and before this voyage had been engaged in the fruit trade between Mentone, on the Mediterranean, and New York. We went after another kind of fruit this time, but, as we found out, the cargo didn't pay so well. From New York we went down to Charleston, S.C., where we laid in a lot of aguardiente, or Spanish rum, the proper commodity with which to barter for blacks. We shipped an American crew of sixteen hands, and we had an American captain and two officers, but in addition we had a Spanish captain, who was supposed to be a passenger, and a Spanish supercargo and stevedore. They really were the owners of the bark. Besides the fiery water in the hold we stowed away a quantity of barrel staves, which could easily be knocked together into barrels. Anybody would conclude that these staves were wanted for water casks, but as nothing fell out they were not needed. Of course the officers said nothing to show what the object of the voyage was. We gave out in the most assuring, innocent manner that we were bound on a trading voyage along the African coast for palm oil and ivory and anything else not contraband useful for a cargo.

Copson Paper prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the African Studies Association New Orleans, November 11-14, 2004 Latest Revision, January 2, 2005 Abstract The voyages of the Wanderer and the Clotilda, slave ships that reached U.S. shores on the eve of the Civil War, grew out of a movement sweeping the South in support of resuming the slave trade on a large scale. The voyages constituted major human rights violations, and the perpetrators were never brought to justice. The Wanderer and Clotilda events underscore certain continuities in the U.S. relationship with Africa, including the limited commitment the United States Government has been willing to make to achieve stated humanitarian objectives in Africa.

An Alabama Captain's Desperate but Successful Undertaking--One Hundred and Sixty Slaves Landed--The Only Full-Blood African Colony in America. Special Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat. Mobile, Ala., November 26.--Business called the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT correspondent recently to the residence of Capt. Tim Meaher, three miles from this city. The house is a two-story frame, situated upon the crown of a red clay hill, and faces to the south. An ordinary picket fence surrounds the house, which has a broad gallery extending across the front. Upon this gallery, basking in the noonday sun of a warm November day, enjoying the balmy breeze that blew in from the gulf, was seated the venerable Captain, from whose lips was learned the story of the importation of the last cargo of slaves into the South.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Last Slave Ship A Fictional Account of the Final Voyage of the Clotilde By L.W. Gibbs (The following is a fictionalized account of the final voyage of the Clotilde--the last known shipment of slaves into the United States. The Clotilde was built in Mobile in 1856 by Captain William Foster. Foster was in command of her last voyage in 1859, and he negotiated the purchase of 125 African slaves for a fellow Mobilian, Captain Timothy Meaher. This story is based on Foster's handwritten recollections, in 1890, of this voyage.) Silently, the wooden skiff moves along the bank of the dark river. The only sound is the constant hum of the delta mosquitoes as they swarm around in this breezeless July night. Before me the dark features of my oarsmen are lit by the glow of the burning hulk that was my ship, the Clotilde. While I may understand the necessity of destroying her, and all other evidence of our deed, the act saddens me for she was the fastest schooner out of Mobile, possibly the entire Gulf Coast. I took great pride in commanding her, and my pride, in part, is the cause of her destruction.

The last of the survivors, Cudjo Lewis, died in 1935. There are few original sources, oral or written to work with, and a fog of myth has tended to obscure even those.

Dabney, charged with importing 103 natives of Africa for slaves into the United States on the schooner Clotilde--28 men and 25 women, 25 boys and 25 girls--was dismissed out of court because of the war coming on, the court itself being outside the jurisdiction of the United States. W. G. Jones was judge; R. B. Owen, clerk of the court, A. J. Requier, the poet, district attorney, and C. M. Godbold, marshal: and this was the flat ending of the very lively romance that was [...] going when Captain Tim Meaher in 1859 disputed the statement of certain of his northern passengers aboard his steamboat, the Roger B.
