Shipwreck Blog: Slave Ship Trouvadore, Turks & Caicos Islands

Story.

Apparently hit a reef and sank in 1841, some of her human cargo settled in the islands and presumably their descendants are still there. Also found were the US Navy vessels Chippewa and Onkahye, ships involved in the interdiction of the slave trade.

Cool - from a family of sailors, I learned to fly instead, but the lore of the sea and shipwrecks, always draws. Thanks for the link.
