The largest slave deportation ports in Ghana
Lady Maddaline & Jean Laldee at the entrance to the slave dungeons
The slave dungeons of Cape Coast had a steep slope that led to dark caverns
that held 250 slaves at a time. To give you an idea of how small they
are, there was about 25 people in my group and we took up over half the
space in the area.
Lady Maddaline in the dungeons where the slaves were held for 3 months at a time
prior to being shipped like animals to the Americas.
These two small channels in the ground (about 3 inches deep) were dug to
take the human waste out of the area. Needless to say,
"It was not nearly enough"
Tour guide points to the spot on the wall where the level of human
dung reached. This was not an exception, but it was the rule. The slaves stood in
their own waste above their knees for up to 3 months.
- Human waste, waist deep.
- Packed like sardines in a can - - 250 souls per room.
"My God... How We Cried"
This is a tight hole in the wall - no lager than the average closet.
This is where they would place up to 8 women at a time for
refusing to give themselves sexually to the soldiers and
governors of the port. They were confined to this area until
they were too weak to fight any more and then rapped.
Our guide told us that most African Americans and Caribbeans
are overcome by the sheer intensity of this tour and are
not able to complete the tour in one day.
"We were NO Exception!"
"No Explanation"
The other side of this door the salve ships awaited....
