Schooner Amistad at Mystic Seaport


While visiting the CVS in New London CT I took my morning walk in Mystic Seaport. Here's a picture of the Schooner Amistad at her berth in Mystic Seaport

Amistad America, Inc. built a recreation of the freedom schooner Amistad at Mystic Seaport. Keel laying was on March 8, 1998 which was the nearest weekend day to March 9, the date the Supreme Court handed down its decision in favor of the Amistad Africans.
