Anse Cafard
Slave Memorial
20 white stone effigies
stand silent in memory
of the slaves who died, in
1830, still chained in the
cargo hold, as their ship
hit Diamond Rock and
capsized. Signs in both
English and French tell the
story of the tragedy and
visitors to the memorial,
on their way to or from
Diamond Beach, say they
are humbled by the effigies
as they stand by them for
photo ops.
