Sandy Spring in Montgomery County, Maryland — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Slaving Clipper Ship
— [Sandy Spring Slave Museum & African Art Gallery] —
This cross-section of a slaving clipper ship was built in 1988. Look in its bottom to see the inhuman conditions the human cargo traveled in -- against their will -- for 3 to 12 months. Their journey took them from Africa, often stopping in the Caribbean, and then on to America.
Sadly, it was not until as late as 1890 that the trading of slaves to Brazil ended.
