Moving
on to Sierra Leone
|
Disheartened with life in Nova Scotia, 1,196 Black Loyalists accepted a British offer to relocate to Sierra Leone, West Africa. On 15 January 1792, they departed Halifax in a fleet of 15 vessels. Sixty-seven people died during the voyage. The rest landed at Freetown on 28 February and 9 March. |
