In 1858 Savannah businessman Charles Lamar, in violation of US law, organized the shipment of hundreds of Africans on the luxury yacht Wanderer to Jekyll Island, Georgia. In 1886 the North American Review published excerpts from thirty of Lamar's letters from the 1850s, reportedly taken from his letter book, which describe his criminal activities.
