Historic ship docks in Kingston this weekend and you can climb aboard

Set sail for a journey through history aboard the 129-foot schooner, a stunning replica of the 19th-century ship La Amistad, famous for the 1839 uprising by enslaved captives from Sierra Leone. While anchored at the Kingston Waterfront, Discovering Amistad’s education team will offer guided deck tours, sharing the ship’s construction, the remarkable story of the Amistad Rebellion, and its current mission. Docking at the Museum’s riverfront marina from Saturday to Wednesday, this event is a unique opportunity to explore a piece of history. Visit hrmm.org for tickets and information.
