Go Into the Depths with Nat Geo Explorer Tara Roberts
Millions of Africans were trafficked into slavery, forced aboard ships that made their way across the Atlantic—and an estimated 1.8 million of them died along the way.
Out of tens of thousands of voyages, about a thousand ships likely sank, burying countless lives, names, and stories in the depths of the ocean. Join National Geographic Explorer Tara Roberts and a group of Black scuba divers on a historic journey to document some of those shipwrecks and recover the lost stories of the slave trade in the six-part podcast Into the Depths, the cover story of our March issue of National Geographic magazine, and the documentary Clotilda: The Last American Slave Ship now streaming on Disney+. | |
 | | "The Atlantic Ocean is full of forgotten people, churning with the spirits of folks whose names we may never know. Souls who have never been acknowledged or mourned. Dreamers, poets, artists, thinkers, scientists, farmers. More than just cargo or bodies packed in a hold. More than faceless statistics. More than people bound for enslavement.” | | —Tara Roberts, National Geographic Explorer | | |
