Slave Ship Trouvadore
01 September 2004
The Trouvadore was a slave ship that wrecked off East Caicos in the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1841. Its cargo of 193 Africans, captured to be sold into slavery, miraculously survived the wrecking and were freed in the Turks and Caicos Islands. From August 28, 2004 an expedition team led by the Turks and Caicos National Museum along with US based Ships of Discovery and documentary makers Windward Media will set sail on board the T&C Explorer to find Trouvadore.\n\nExpedition Site\n
