  • Sunken Slave Ship Found

    WASHINGTON — On Dec. 3, 1794, a Portuguese slave ship left Mozambique, on the east coast of Africa, for what was to be a 7,000-mile voyage to Maranhão, Brazil, and the sugar plantations that awaited its cargo of black men and women.


    Shackled in the ship’s hold were between 400 and 500 slaves, pressed flesh to flesh with their backs on the floor. With the exception of daily breaks to exercise, the slaves were to spend the bulk of the estimated four-month journey from the Indian Ocean across the vast South Atlantic in the dark of the hold.


    In the end, their journey lasted only 24 days. Buffeted by strong winds, the ship, the São José Paquete Africa, rounded the treacherous Cape of Good Hope and came apart violently on two reefs not far from Cape Town and only 100 yards from shore, but in deep, turbulent water. The Portuguese captain, crew and half of the slaves survived. An estimated 212 slaves did not, and perished in the sea.

    Ok ...now we know the fate of of those 212 who perished on this particular slave ship. I'm sure some savvy Babylon type can take this story....make a tear-jerking movie out of it with a cast including "progressive thinking White roles" to appease & attract White audiences....and make MILLIONS from that artificial propaganda

    Unknown, unreported and un-cared about are the fates of 10s of millions of others who perished before reaching the "Promised Land" in the West.

    Not to mention the fates of the other 10s of millions "lucky" Africans who didn't perish at sea....but were privileged to be worked to death enriching Europeans for centuries
