Tromelin Island – The forgotten slaves

“In 1761 a French ship was ferrying around 160 slaves out of Madagascar... While slavery was legal at the time, the captain was not approved as a slaver and so was likely trying to finish his illicit slave deal quickly (…) They ran into the reef surrounding Tromelin Island while trying to navigate it in the dark (…) Some 60 of the slaves were able to swim to safety. Using the wrecked debris from the ship, two camps were made, one for the crew and one for the slaves. Eventually, the crew men sailed back to Madagascar, vowing to return for the slaves, but they must have gotten side-tracked as no one returned for 15 years. (…) They kept themselves alive by eating turtles and crabs that can to the island to nest. They built simple shelters by digging rooms into the ground and fortifying them with rocks. (…) When a rescue boat was finally sent to the island all those years later, only seven women and child less than a year old remained.” (atlasobscura.com)
