This photograph of a 'Liberated African' slave was taken after they were freed from slaving ships by the British Navy. From 1861 to 1874; more than 2500 'Liberated Africans' were shipped to Port Victoria; Seychelles.
While the Slave Trade continued across eastern and southern Africa and the Indian Ocean; the 'liberated' were taken to a depot; classified by the District Magistrate; photographed; renamed; and assigned as 'apprentices' to the French-owned plantations; where they were indentured for five years.
