TOUR OF SAVANNA-LA-MAR TOWN WESTMORELAND JAMAICA

- Savanna-la-Mar was originally established as a settlement in Spanish Jamaica.
In 1780, the town was completely destroyed by a powerful hurricane known as Savanna-la-Mar hurricane. It was rebuilt, as the port was an important part of the Atlantic trade in sugar, slaves and other goods.[citation needed]
After Great Britain abolished slavery in 1833 and before the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865, its officials in the Caribbean colonies at times ordered the examination of slaves on American ships that happened to come to its Caribbean ports, to see if they wanted to stay in the colony and gain freedom, or return with the ship to the United States and slavery. In the cases of the Enterprise at Bermuda in 1835 and the Creole at Nassau in 1841-1842, a total of more than 200 slaves gained freedom.
In at least one case, residents intervened to help others gain freedom. On 20 July 1855, Jamaicans boarded the United States brig Young America, which had put into Savann-la-Mar. They had learned that the cook, a man named Anderson (alias Nettles), was a fugitive slave, and took him to shore, where he gained freedom. (He had boarded the ship with free papers in the name of Nettles.) The Jamaican magistrates did not interfere. The United States consul, R. Monroe Harrison (1768-1858), complained to the British colonial government about the incident. He also published a letter in The New York Times a few days later warning shipmasters against having blacks as part of their crew on ships putting into Jamaica, at the risk of losing them.

I use to go to SAV every week when I was home now I recognize the town.Anyway,I appreciate all you doing to highlight our country.God blessings ,and take care of yourself, and stay safe.
It’s obvious that the town needs to be expanded. More attention and investment in the West is needed immediately.

First time hearing about this town. I just got back from a vacation in Mobay. I love JA and I always like to tour ,where I see what local life is like . Thanks for this
Nice tour. I was in Savanna-La-Mar and Negril in the 60s, and from my memory, it was much, much less populated, and had almost a village atmosphere, the tranquility and the easy-going atmosphere and friendliness were something I didn't forget. The Lamb's Bread and King's Bread were my favorites; Gretel Hilton's corn pies were incredible.
