Summary
Underwater adventurers from groups like Underwater Adventure Seekers embarked on a pilgrimage to an underwater memorial for the Henrietta Marie, a British slave ship that sank in 1700 off Key West, Florida. The group, including a Stanford anthropologist, dived to a concrete marker twenty feet down, now a living reef teeming with marine life. The trip was emotionally charged, with participants feeling a deep connection to their ancestors and expressing gratitude for their survival. At the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, artifacts from the wreck, including over eighty sets of iron shackles, served as a stark reminder of the history of slavery. The journey highlighted the enduring impact of Black communities and their role in shaping the land. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
