The Atlantic approaches St George’s with liberated...

History slavery Grenada 📅 25 Januari 1850 📍 Grenada

On 25 January 1850 the Atlantic approached St George’s, carrying liberated Africans from Sierra Leone. Shantel George’s study traces the arrival through John Candler’s account: earlier recaptives rowed out to meet the newcomers, and people sang together on the way back to shore. The arrival involved state-organized indenture, yet the scene also shows African connection, shared language, and cultural agency across forced displacement.
