Yes, slave ships did land in Connecticut during the transatlantic slave trade. While the state was not a primary hub for the trade like some southern states, there were instances of enslaved people being brought to Connecticut, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. Notably, the ship "Zong" carried enslaved Africans to various locations, including parts of New England. The legacy of slavery in Connecticut is a complex part of its history, reflecting the broader patterns of the slave trade in the United States.
