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.

Part Two - The Seychellois Slave Traders

This is Seychelles and the legacy of Slavery, a podcast series in 8 parts. In this episode, we investigate the shocking mortality rates and diseases suffered by the slaves being shipped from the East coast of Africa, and the role of Seychelles as a vital recuperation and reprovisioning point in the Indian Ocean slave trade. We also examine which local landowners may have benefitted from the trade, and how they helped to hide the immoral and criminal practice from the British authorities who were trying to stop it.
