Description
Remote Bayou Canot, located just off the Mobile River north of the city, was the scene of two of the most dramatic tragedies in regional history: the derailment of Amtrak’s “Sunset Limited” in 1993 and the last documented importation of African slaves into the United States in 1860 aboard the Clotilda. Come along with us as we venture deep into the delta to discover more about these remarkable, yet somber events and their enduring significance. This two-hour excursion showcases the incredible beauty and natural diversity of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta as we journey to the Bayou, featuring unique opportunities to view the abundance of the delta wildlife, such as eagles, ospreys and, of course, alligators.
