Dominica Island Images

We took this photo while visiting the village of Calibishie – a small up-and-coming village on the northeast coast of Dominica with some of most breathtaking views on the island. The photo shows a local fisherman fishing along the sea shore. A perfect example of how beautiful and exotic the village is.

Toward the end of the 18 century, sugar and trade profits in the West Indies were dwindling. But the cost of defending the island remained high, both in money and manpower. At the Cabrits, many troops died of fever and other ill effects of the climate. To solve this manpower problem, Britain recruited African and Creole slaves, better adapted to the climate, to form the Black West Indian Regiments.

To learn more about the West Indies Regiment Soldier, visit Fort Shirley at the Cabrits National Park.
