📅 11 Febrüari 1877 📍 Guyana Franses

The Berryer arrives in French Guiana with 306 workers, the final ship in the twenty-convoy migration recorded between 1856 and 1877. More than 8,000 people crossed from India and the Caribbean to work in plantations and gold fields. The end of new ship arrivals did not erase the lasting social consequences of indenture or end labor inequality in the colony.
