A poster tells the history of Africatown at the “Spirits of the Passage: The Story of the Transatlantic Slave Trade” exhibit at GulfQuest National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico, March 3, 2023, in Mobile, Alabama. Africatown was founded in 1860 by 32 West African slaves brought over on the slave ship Clotilda as part of the last known illegal shipment of slaves to the United States. The traveling exhibit, which opened in January and continues through June 2023, examines the history of the Atlantic Slave trade from the 16th through the 19th centuries. GulfQuest opened in 2015 and features more than 90 interactive exhibits celebrating the Gulf Coast’s rich maritime heritage. It is one of only two interactive maritime museums in the United States.
