None of those ships are from the United States only associated and that ship was built by the United States for some other country. Same as Amistad. One was supposing associated with the Alex Haley novel roots, whom he got all his material off some other person's play!! Truth of the matter is slaves never came to this Country by way of slave ship! We were enslaved in our own land America!! Black skin people were already here, they didn't have to go to Africa and bring back slaves!!!
Love Duncan- you are twisted on your history brother! Where you learned we did arrive on slave ships name "The Good Ship Jesus" & "La Amistad" is a mystery only you know.
Someone, anyone, please send any data you may have regarding a British Slave Ship with the French name ( Havre de Grace )
This ship sailed up the Chesapeake Bay in 1709, to the Susquehanna River, and delivered 74 slaves.
Please provide any data you may have as to WHY, this particular had the French name ( Havre de Grace )

Some of us would be quite surprise to learn that some of the slave ships were owned by some of our major corporations that still exit today. Like Tulane University in New Orleans, just to name a few.
