  • On this episode we are finally in one of our most wanted to visit places, Chagos, it has a lot of history and 2,000 people lived here until in late 60' the British evicted the Chagossians to Mauritius for the US Navy to build a military base in Diego Garcia. We visited the Salomon atol which with Peros Banhos are the only 2 atolls that sailors can stop on passage in the Indian Ocean.
    It is truly paradise with incredible wild marine life. Definitely one of our highlights of this circumnavigation, absolutely loved it.
    Enjoy and see you next week!

    So beautiful and uninhabited, it is paradise! What an interesting and dark history, of the western footprint on Pacific cultures. When you cooked the fish on the fire made with palm trees, it might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

    Chagos Islands is a very upsetting subject because the Indian Ocean is where the slave trade took place.
    I'm not sure why UK and America tell this story about West African slavery that did not really occur.
    The African slaves were described as being the Pagans (Nword, Tri Racial Aboriginals, Blacks).
    Also, the Dutch documented that they ordered the enslavement of Pagans and not Africans because they were highly diverse of all colors (Coloreds).
    At the time Austronesians were called Senegalese but they are 100% Indians.
    Hence the reason why the words Mother, Indien, Mor, Black, N word, Pagans... Are all the same words in various Proto Indo languages.

      @22South  3 года назад +6

      Hello, all sailors can stop for maximum 4 weeks in some archipelagos ( not the one with the military base) with a strong assurance for the boat. It's only to rest in transit because the Indian ocean is strong and long for sailors but we are not allowed to stay of course... 😉

    Chagos archipelago not only museum of marine species but also island paradise.
    But beyond this, so many evidences of 10 thousand old Indian civilization could find also there .
    It is capital island of demon king" Raavana "

      indians never reached thar far they were busy shitting on cows. Maldivians reached the islands when they were swept up out at sea. Europeans first settled it. It belongs the UK and the English should settle there.

    When the United States forcibly and violently removed the Chagossian People out of their country, not only did they give them no compensation or secure them any housing, but they slaughtered all pets. They threw over a thousand pets into furnaces and gas chambers.
