About
The Seychelles islands: an archipelago of 115 islands in the Western Indian Ocean, just off the East African coastline. Not everyone will have heard of the Seychelles, but those who have associate it with white sand and luxury holidays. What most people don’t know is that Seychelles has a dark history associated with slavery since the islands were first settled 250 years ago, and for the next few decades the islands would be used as a strategically important base for the storage and transportation of Africans captured on the mainland.
