AFRICATOWN CLOTILDA BOAT TOURS
Cruise to the Site of the Clotilda Wreck
The Clotilda—the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans into the United States—still rests beneath the waters of the Mobile River just north of the city. Join us as we journey to this historic site and explore a somber yet pivotal chapter of local history with deep national significance.
This special tour to the wreck site is guided by our partners at Africatown Freedom Tours, a team of descendants of Clotilda survivors, skilled storytellers, and community leaders dedicated to preserving and sharing this powerful narrative. Together, they bring to life the voyage of the Clotilda, the experiences of its passengers, and the remarkable community they built despite unimaginable circumstances. Through their voices, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the ship’s legacy and the lasting impact of the people whose courage and resilience continue to shape Africatown today.
