The Henrietta Marie slave ship’s bell is displayed 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. The Henrietta Marie was a slave ship that carried cptive Africans to the West Indies. It sank near the tip of Florida in 1700, and the ship’s wreckage was discovered in 1972. The ship’s bell bears the ship’s name as well as the year 1699, which helped archaeologists identify the ship. 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.
