 This all began because of a discovery that was reported in a news source online of a shipwreck that someone believed was the Clotilda. In 1860, a shipbuilder and steamboat owner named Timothy Mayer took a bet that he could bring captives back from Africa. For 52 years, it had been illegal to bring Africans to America. The Clotilda from its builder, William Foster, hired William Foster to make that voyage. Foster scuttled the ship in 30 feet of water very close to where they unloaded the captives, and that's where no slave ship to come to America has rested since 1860. I've known an African town story for most of my career, and they've always known the story. It's been handed down generationally. The first time I ever walked into that community, we were having a cemetery workshop, and we had schoolchildren there, and I was thinking, wow, every schoolchild in Alabama should know the story, and they don't. World Balance and the Elephant history books. We have consulted with the community at every phase. Every phase has been permitted by the Corps of Engineers, and in the later phases, we've had a Corps of Engineers archaeologist on board monitoring work. The Smithsonian Slavery Project and Diving with a Purpose has been involved from the very beginning. The search, it was a private archaeological firm that has an Eriton branch, and we also got in touch with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources because we needed to depend on them for logistics, so I don't have boats. So, you know, just we physically needed to get to the site. Not everybody gets to write their history in the history books, and archaeology allows us to get at some of those stories that may not have been recorded.
