The traffickers burned the ship to hide their crime, but the survivors built Africatown, preserving a legacy America tried to erase.

Statement Regarding Clotilda’s Mistaken Identity from Local News Story on November 1, 2023 [Alabama Historical Commission] The recent news story regarding the Clotilda being seen above water is inaccurate and the wreck visible in the video footage is in fact another historic wreck that the Alabama Historical Commission (AHC) has documented and identified as the Lake Ellijay. The Lake Ellijay is a steel-hulled steamer built in World War I and was left in Mobile for scrapping and can be seen in the video footage shared online.
