Description
Two ship manifests from 1838 and 1859 and an 1858 logbook of the Wanderer (Schooner). The Wanderer was a schooner that, in 1858, pretending to be on other business, carried 487 enslaved people from Africa to the United States (against U.S. law), and delivered enslaved people to South Carolina and Georgia. The log does not make any mention of enslaved people or the cargo that was being transported by the Wanderer.
