TALL SHIP AMISTAD

Freedom Schooner Amistad gets ready to sail on Lake Michigan just off Chicago on the first day of Tall Ships Chicago. The Amistad is a replica of the original Amistad, a ship full of African slaves from Sierra Leone who revolted in 1839 and took over the ship. They were captured but later won their freedom in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
