Good story, but I was told that ship has bed bugs.

That's just a gossip. Your "source" is wrong.

The story of Amistad has inspired me to do better to contribute to society by remembering my African ancestors and doing the best i can. my goal for now is to get through the 7th grade and change the world change the future by honoring the past

Why didn't the US made a film about their own slave trade? Is very easy to blame on others. The main slave traders between Africa and America (it is, the continent) were the French, the Portuguese and the US people. By the way, the leader of the riot ended up his days as a slave trader in his native country.

She spent a week docked at the marina I was working at. Improved the view vastly.

I just got off of the ship a few days ago and it was honestly the best time of my life so far. It's hard work, but it's all worth it.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I would love to sail on her one day.
