On 17 July 1860 the Tartar arrived in St George’s with 92 liberated Africans from Central Africa, one of whom had died during the voyage. These Africans had been seized from slave traders and sent from St Helena to the Caribbean under indenture. Their legal status was not the same as chattel slavery, but the colonial scheme still treated their labor and movement as resources to be allocated.
