Freedom Schooner Amistad was built at the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard at Mystic Seaport and launched in 2000. Recently she was hauled out there after two years long 2007-2008 Atlantic Freedom Tour commemorating 200th Anniversary of Abolition of Slave Trade. Amistad reconnected to the roots of original Amistad story of 1839 by visiting Sierra Leone in West Africa - the homeland of Sengbe Pieh and the La Amistad captives. Comments
