34 Anse Caffard Memorial near Le Diamant, Martinique

These fifteen shadowy figures at the top of a grassy, windswept hill are marching blindly towards the sea. The eight-foot concrete statues by Laurent Valére are a memorial to the 42 slaves who drowned in 1830 while chained to a cargo hall as their ship smashed into nearby Diamond Rock Mountain. The Anse Caffard Memorial, also called Cap 110, was erected near Le Diamant on the 150th anniversary of the emancipation of slavery.
