In 1856, a slave ship named The Meridian departed Mobile Bay carrying 200 enslaved human beings.
It never arrived.
No wreckage. No survivors. No official explanation.
What followed was one of the darkest and most deliberately erased crimes in American history.
This documentary uncovers the forgotten case of Captain James Whitaker, a man who vanished alongside his human cargo, and the horrifying underground chambers later discovered near Oyster Point, Alabama. Using fragmented court records, missing journals, suppressed testimonies, and buried maritime evidence, this story exposes a crime far more disturbing than a simple shipwreck.
What happened to the 200 people aboard the Meridian?
Why did historical records disappear?
And why were later investigations quietly abandoned?
This is not a ghost story.
This is a true historical horror, buried by power, money, and silence.
🎧 Listen carefully. History did not forget them — it erased them.
