(around this time).

It travelled from Whydah in Benin republic, and arrived in Alabama with 110-160 slaves. The ship was burned and sank afterwards.

It's still a subject of dispute if the slave ship Clotilde or another slave ship the Wanderer, was the last to reach America. The wanderer sailed from Angola and berthed in Georgia in November 1858 with 409 surviving slaves aboard.
