Seychelles: Liberated African slave at Port Victoria, c. 1860s

This photograph of a 'Liberated African' slave was taken after they were freed from slaving ships by the British Navy. From 1861 to 1874, more than 2500 'Liberated Africans' were shipped to Port Victoria, Seychelles.<br/><br/>. While the Slave Trade continued across eastern and southern Africa and the Indian Ocean, the 'liberated' were taken to a depot, classified by the District Magistrate, photographed, renamed, and assigned as 'apprentices' to the French-owned plantations, where they were indentured for five years.
