The schooner Clotilda was the last known U.S. slave ship to bring captives from Africa to the United States, arriving at Mobile Bay, in autumn 1859 or summer 1860, with 110 African men, women, and children.
The Atlantic slave trade had already been banned by Congress on March 2, 1807 (effective January 1, 1808), but the practice continued illegally. After the voyage, the ship was burned in an attempt to destroy any evidence.

Olnale Kossola (c. 1841 – July 17, 1935), also known as Cudjo Lewis, was ~20 when he was snatched from his West African home and brought to America on the last slave ship, “The Clotilda”, in 1860. He was around ~90 when Zora Neale Hurston interviewed him in 1927.
