In December of 2002 the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum opened its newest exhibition The Last Slave Ships. The exhibit tells the story of three slave ships brought to Key West in 1860, and the Africans liberated from them. This web-page makes available our latest research, both historical and archaeological relating to these events.
