The Henrietta Marie was a slave ship that carried captive Africans to the West Indies, where they were sold as slaves. The ship wrecked at the southern tip of Florida on its way home to England, and is one of only a few wrecks of slave ships that have been identified.
The wreck was found in 1972 during a magnetometer survey by a boat operated by a subsidiary of Mel Fisher’s Treasure Salvors, Inc.
