The Maidstone reached Irwin’s Bay, St Patrick, on 1 May 1857. An official Indian government summary and a local Grenadian account report the arrival; the commemorative plaque records 287 people landed from 304 who left India. These workers entered indenture after emancipation, under a contract system distinct from slavery but shaped by plantation demand for disciplined labor. Their descendants became part of Grenada’s social and cultural life.
