We caught the ferry from Point marina in Dakar city which costed us 2500CFA for a two way trip and you can come back anytime you want between 9:30am when they start until 8:00pm when they stop moving to and from the Island. Its quit are beautiful trip as you will see in the video.
This trip to this Slave Island was one I was anticipated to go to though I knew how it may be spiritually draining due to the horror memories ,sorrow and great suffering that was imposed on our people from the motherland taken from their wives and kids ,subjected to unending physical, mental and emotional pains causing death to many and those who survived where taken as slaves to various colonial white countries for labour. #slavery #livinginAfrica #nichole&Sami #sweetbae
Gorée is a tiny, car-free island off the coast of Dakar, in Senegal. It’s known for its role in the 15th- to 19th-century Atlantic slave trade. On the narrow streets, colonial buildings include the House of Slaves, now a museum. The 19th-century Fort d’Estrées houses the IFAN Historical Museum, with exhibits on Senegal’s past. The Henriette Bathily Women’s Museum considers the role of women in West African society.
Gorée Island was first visited (1444) by Portuguese sailors under Dinís Dias and occupied in subsequent years. The island’s indigenous Lebu people were later displaced, and fortifications were erected. The town was active in the Atlantic slave trade from 1536 until 1848, when slavery was abolished in Senegal. Historians debate whether Gorée was a major entrepôt for the trade or simply one of many centres from which Africans were taken to the Americas.
Gorée changed hands several times, but from 1817 until Senegal’s independence in 1960 it was under the control of France. As early as 1848 Gorée participated in French elections, and it was represented in the French Parliament during the first half of the 20th century. The island’s importance steadily declined with the rise of Saint-Louis and Dakar on the mainland.
Several museums and the remains of colonial-era forts attract tourists. The Maison des Esclaves (“Slave House”), which was constructed in 1786, includes displays of slavery artifacts, and the Fort d’Estrées (built in the 1850s) is the site of a historical museum. There are also museums of women’s history and of the sea. In 1978 Gorée Island was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and several of its historic structures were restored in the 1980s and ’90s.
