remains of a ship. >> i thought it wouldn't be hard. i called museums around the world and said, look, you must have some things. you must know where i can get some materials. everybody said no. almost every slave ship was at the end of its life so it is probably on the ocean floor. then i got scared i thought i won't be able to find this. >> mozambique island rises off the ocean south of the equator. it was one of the points in what was called the triangular trade. goods from europe to africa. cotton, gold and tobacco back to the old. in the 1400s, the portuguese are the first europeans to trade in slaves and they became the largest. followed by the english, french, spanish and dutch. on mozambique island, the portuguese built a fortress that they called st. sebastian for the christian martyr who was

captured, chained and martyred it was the only they know the portuguese trailed to grasp. >> when you look at the enormous effort that went into building this fort, they were protecting something that was hugely valuable to them. >> they recognized that the key to their future as nations was economic prosperity. >> they oversaw the trafficking of more than 400,000 slaves. he was certain there had to be evidence of a ship and he soon discovered, he was not the only one looking. he found a group of researchers calling themselves the slave reps project and they were following a lead. what do we final here? >> a very interesting thing. >> he is a mozambiquan archaeologist helping to locate the beginning of the story. >> this is

i wish that all of us were as strong as the people who walked down those steps and got on those boats. >> we're wading out into the tidal flats. >> if lonnie was to find his slave ship, he would need steve, the co-founder of the slave project. he is an an throw apologist from george washington university who believes that slavery is the greatest story in maritime archaeology. >> think about the way in which computers nowadays affect all of our lives. it is not just, it doesn't affect just the computing industry. everything is interlinked and depends on this. and the slave trade in its time was truly the equivalent. it reached into and influenced and created the modern world. >> even so, it is not likely much has survived centuries under the sea. >> we're not talking about a hull that you'll find down there and masts and all of that that

but by far the biggest headline has been the sizzling political feud between the mayor of miami beach and florida's governor. >> what the governor did, he not only blind sided me. he blind sided our administration. >> for the third day in a row, the mayor took aim at florida governor rick scott. for failing to tell city leaders about zika cases on miami beach before he notified the public. >> i think it would be more useful in the public to let the elected leaders, let the administration know what's going on so we can take necessary steps. >> governor scott fired back. >> i reached out to mayor levine and he didn't return my phone call. >> two tourist areas in miami-dade county. the wynwood neighborhood and south beach are home to at least 37 locally transmitted zika cases. katrina bernard's third child is due in december. >> this isn't a cold. it is life or death. >> although bernard lives outside the zika zones, she is

>> what has instilled that fear? >> seeing all these poor babies with microcephaly and seeing women have to make the choice to either not continue their pregnancy or to just be dealt a really hard hand. >> there are 69 pregnant women in the state of florida who have been infected with zika. the disease has been linked to babies born with micro cephaly and can impact the size of a children's head, causing seizures, developmental delays and additional mental and physical problems. >> you can't keep mosquito in a box. >> she is also from the miami area. but earlier this month she relocated to chicago and she man's to stay there for the remainder of her pregnancy. >> you just inconvenience yourself so your baby is safe. >> reporter: we are reaching the peak of hurricane season. should we get a storm here, standing water after the storm will pose a real problem when it comes to mosquitos breeding and

here in south beach, they will fine you for standing water. even a little bit. because mosquitos can breed in something like this, a bottle cap. more trouble on the campaign trail for hillary clinton. an investigation by the associated press shows that while clinton was secretary of state, more than half the people outside of government who met with her ended up donating money to the clinton foundation. nearly two dozen donated more than a million dollars each. though not illegal, there does give impression that donating to the clinton foundation was the price of admission for access to the secretary of state. meanwhile the state department has been ordered to release another 15,000 e-mails from clinton's personal server. they were turned up during an fbi investigation. clinton aides say they don't know what is in these 15,000 e-mails and documents recovered from her servers by the fbi. or how the lawyers missed them when they said they turned over all her work-related e-mail in 2014.

make light of what has become a serious liability. >> we've already released, i don't know, 30,000 plus. so what's a few more? >> clinton tried to use humor. >> have you considered using face time instead of e-mail? >> actually, actually, i think that's really good advice. >> but in akron, ohio, donald trump and his supporters didn't find it that funny. >> now we learned about another 15,000 e-mails she failed to turn over and they've just been discovered. >> on jimmy kimmel live, clinton tackled a trump attack. >> take my pulse while i'm talking to you. make sure i'm alive. >> trump and his allies have repeatedly insinuated she is unwell. >> she also lacks the mental and physical stamina.

>> clinton's doctors say she is in excellent health. >> it is part of the wacky strategy. say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you. >> trump used the same approach to go after clinton's charity on monday. >> the clinton foundation constitutes a clear example of racketeering, influence, corrupt organization enterprise. >> he insisted foundation owners got favors from the clinton state department and he called for a special prosecutor. >> criminality. everybody knows it. >> the state department said, it is not true. >> we have seen no evidence of any behavior, any relations with the clinton foundation that weren't completely above board. >> the former president bill clinton did announce yesterday that he will stop raising money for the foundation, and step down from the board if his wife is elected president. but foundation officials have

resisted some calls for them to shut down all together if she wins. they say that would deprive millions of people around the world of life saving medical treatments. donald trump has canceled several campaign appearance this is week where he was expected to outline his new immigration policy. >> donald trump denies what appears to be a clear move away from mass deportations. the best clue? trump doesn't talk about it anymore and neither does anyone paid to speak on his behalf. what is unclear is what a trump presidency would mean to an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the u.s. >> we're going to build a wall, folks. >> donald trump clung to that applause line like a rhetorical life raft in akron, ohio, amid muddy explanations to deport all undocumented residents. >> he now talks of deporting only hardened criminalan

and when i win, we'll get rid of all the bad ones. as far as everybody else, we'll go through the process. >> trump would not say what that process was or how would it work but no longer insists it includes raids, arrests and lengthy deportation proceedings. >> you don't have to put them in a detention center. i'm not going to do that. an advisory council informed trump of the logistics tied to mass deportations. now he is dialing things back while simultaneously wooing minority voters. >> it is a disaster the way african-americans are living in many cases, and in many cases, the way hispanics are living. i say it with such a deep felt feeling. what do you have to lose? >> trump described a world of squalor and hopelessness

offering himself as a potential savior. >> you can to go war zones, in countries that we're fighting, and it is safer than living in some of our inner cities. and those in megared krill oil. unlike fish oil, megared is easily absorbed by your body... ...which makes your heart, well, mega-happy. happier still, megared is proven to increase omega-3 levels in 30 days. megared. the difference is easy to absorb. today you can do everything in just one click, even keep your toilet clean and fresh. introducing lysol click gel. click it in to enjoy clean freshness with every flush.

the smithsonian's national museum of african-american history and culture opens next month. and they were intent on finding a slave ship to put on display. the trouble is that none exists except at the bottom of the sea. >> mozambique island defies the erosion of time. the portuguese colonists who claimed it 500 years ago would still find the cut of the cloth that borrows the wind as familiar as the cut of the stone that framed their city. he came to this capital of the slave trade because he was determined to launch america's new national museum on the remains of a ship.

>> i thought it wouldn't be hard. i called museums around the world and said, look, you must have some things. you must know where i can get some materials. everybody said no. almost every slave ship was at the end of its life so it is probably on the ocean floor. then i got scared. i thought i won't be able to find this. >> mozambique island rises off the ocean south of the equator. it was one of the points in what was called the triangular trade. goods from europe to africa. slaves to the new world. cotton, gold and tobacco back to the old. in the 1400s, the portuguese are the first europeans to trade in slaves and they became the largest. followed by the english, french, spanish and dutch. on mozambique island, the portuguese built a fortress that they called st. sebastian for the christian martyr who was

captured, chained and murdered in rome in 208. it was the only they know the portuguese trailed to grasp. >> when you look at the enormous effort that went into building this fort, they were protecting something that was hugely valuable to them. >> they recognized that the key to their future as nations was economic prosperity. >> they oversaw the trafficking of more than 400,000 slaves. he was certain there had to be evidence of a ship and he soon discovered, he was not the only one looking. he found a group of researchers calling themselves the slave x project and they were following a lead. what do we final here? >> a very interesting thing.

the beginning of the story. >> this is a tunnel that was used to put slaves inside, to put them out of the island as well. >> reporter: under the old portuguese town, tunnels connected holding pins. the devout portuguese preferred to keep slaves in transit out of sight. how were these slaves captured? >> some individuals specialize in the capturing slaves. so they would raid villages far from here. and they walked them in chains from there to here and lots died on the way. >> so these were africans capturing africans. >> yes. it was not only a business for the portuguese. also for some of the local chiefs as well. >> those local chiefs came to this auction houseo sell captives to european clients. >> a male in the late 18th century, early 19th century, would go anywhere from $600 to $1,500. which is probably about, oh,

$9,000 to $15,000 today. >> this was incredibly lucrative. >> in the years before the civil war, the amount of money invested in slaves was more than the amount invest in the rail roads, banks and businesses combined. this was the economic engine of europe and the united states. by the time you got here -- >> the slaves marched from the auction ramp, down here and to the ship. >> what you probably had was almost an assembly line. you bring people, you sell people, you would move them on to the boats and off to the new world. >> what does black america need to hear in your estimation from the echoes off these steps? >> i think all americans need recognize that as tragic and horrible as slavery was, as big an economic shadow as it casts, the one thing it didn't do was stpe

i wish that all of us were as strong as the people who walked down those steps and got on those boats. >> we're wading out into the tidal flats. >> if lonnie was to find his slave ship, he would need steve, the co-founder of the slave project. he is an an throw apologist from george washington university who believes that slavery is the greatest story in maritime archaeology. >> think about the way in which computers nowadays affect all of our lives. it is not just, it doesn't affect just the computing industry. everything is interlinked and depends on this. and the slave trade in its time was truly the equivalent. it reached into and influenced and created the modern world. >> even so, it is not likely much has survived centuries under the sea. >> we're not

hull that you'll find down there and masts and all of that that you would imagine. >> we don't find intact ships. we find parts of ships. you have to go underneath the water, at some difficulty, find pieces, try to put them back together and put together story that you can. >> the story he was searching for wasn't discovered underneath the water. his ship was lost in the dry official records of cape town, south africa, which reach back to the 1600s. the slave x project had been diving into these binders for months when they discovered the st. joseph known in portuguese. it arrived in mozambique island in 1794. the cargo manifest records 1,500 iron bars for ballast and more than 400 slaves bound for brazil.

this is a cargo sketch from a different but typical ship. paul was an historian of slavery and curator of the smithsonian museum. >> bodies and souls laid side by side with no room to move, no sanitation. many people on these voyages died. >> how long was that journey? >> a journey like the one it took could take up to four or more months. >> this is slavery on a global, industrial scale. >> from about 1500 through the 19th century, through the late 1800s, we're talking about at least 12 million people. >> off cape town, south africa, the captain of the ship was caught between a violent storm and a nautical chart spiked with

warnings. whittle rocks, bellows rock. the ship crashed. 212 slaves were killed. and because money had been lost, there was an investigation. >> they wanted to have independent verification. >> interviews with survivors have survived. >> this is the crew's account. right here we have the captain's account. and he signed his name here 220 years ago. >> incredible. >> he said he decided to save the slaves and the people. the people are the crew. the slaves are just cargo. >> the 200-year-old investigation pinpointeded the site. in 2010, divers responding to a metal detector discovered bars of iron. one of those divers is an archaeologist with south africa's museum, and his partner in founding the slave x project. he says these the iron bars we mentioned a moment ago on this ship's manifest. the ballast for the ship.

>> so you were excavating the sand on the sea bottom of this was under the sand. so you were in how much water? >> about five meters of water. >> 15 to 20 feet of water. >> that's correct. >> and these are two feet tunneled sand below that. >> yes. >> it turns out, shallow water makes it harder. surf tosses the divers and sand vacuumed away settles back within hours. but after more than 300 dives, this is what they've recovered so far. >> these are nails that pin sheets of copper over the hull for protection. what looks like a lump of concrete is marine growth on a wooden pulley block. similar to this one used to hoist sails and cargo. this x-ray shows the two white spaces where rope was threaded around the wheel.
