Project Name Newport's Brenton Cove
Project URL https://www.rimap.org/the-other-vessels
Project Description There are four vessels known to have been abandoned in Newport’s Brenton Cove, one of which was the reputed Slave Ship Gem. RIMAP teams described the physical remains of these ships, including the one insecurely identified as a slaver that was abandoned there after the Civil War. Historical studies suggested that slaving was not the Gem’s history, but the study also illustrated the emotional relationship of Rhode Island as the apex of the triangle trade between Africa, the Caribbean, and Rhode Island. The results were published in the SHA/ACUA proceedings. On the adice of the SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) coordinates are redacted.
