The Dutch Caribbean Island of St Eustatius played an important role in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Especially in the eighteenth century due to the status of St. Eustatius as a ‘free port’ where no duties and taxes were levied. During this period , the island was also known as the ‘Golden Rock’. Becaus eof this history, the island is home to many places and references to slavery and enslaved people. But at the same time, this history is not always visible and tangible.
