Archaeologists find wreck of slave ship
Marine archaeologists have found the remains of a slave ship wrecked off the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1841, an accident that set free the ancestors of many current residents of the islands.
11:50PM GMT 25 Nov 2008
Almost 200 Africans survived the sinking of the Spanish ship Trouvadore off the British-ruled islands, where the slave trade was banned.
Once ashore, the former slaves were apprenticed to trades for a year and then allowed them to settle on the islands, many on Grand Turk.
The Spanish crew was arrested and turned over to authorities in Cuba, then a Spanish colony.
But over the years the ship's story had been forgotten, said researcher Don Keith.
When the discovery connected the ship to the island's current residents, the first response "was a kind of shock, a lack of comprehension," he said.
He said this is the only known wreck of a ship engaged in the illegal slave trade.
"The people of the Turks and Caicos have a direct line to this dramatic, historic event - it's how so many of them ended up being there. We hope this discovery will encourage the people of the Turks and Caicos to protect and research their local history, especially the history that remains underwater," he said.
An 1878 letter refers to the Trouvadore Africans as making up the pith - meaning an essential part - of the laboring population on the islands.
When the wreck was first discovered in 2004, it was named the Black Rock ship because the researchers were unsure of its identity. They have since become convinced by the timing and design of the vessel that it is the Trouvadore.
The team also found the remains of an American ship built for the war of 1812 which was engaged in chasing pirates when it was lost in 1816. The vessel was identified by the unique type of cannons it carried.

You haven't proved anything. Nobody said Africans weren't brought. If this was going on heavily over 300 years you'd have a lot more evidence, you wouldn't be chicken scratching.

such as :
Did I just not say Africans were brought?
Its clear you didn't read anything I posted. The proof is overwhelmingly the other way around. If you believe Europeans brought all you negros over here on their riketty wood boats and marched you out while drenched in period blood and rat feces, go ahead. And just because africans have something similar still doesn't mean they got it from there.

So who are the Native Americans?
How do modern day human traffickers transport "negros on their riketty wood boats and while drenched in period blood and rat feces"

Are these people crossing the Atlantic?
Those people are on boats weeks, even months, the same time it took from Africa to America
