On 2 May 2009 a ceremony at La Fortune Junction, St Patrick, commemorated the Maidstone’s landing and unveiled a plaque; the route to the site was renamed Maidstone Road. The plaque records that 287 passengers landed in 1857 and dedicates the memorial to the people who became the origin of the Indo-Grenadian population. The ceremony made descendants’ history visible in public space, while its language of arrival can be read alongside the indenture contracts that constrained the migrants’ choices.
