It is an imposing structure that was first used as  a commercial base for the gold trade. The soldiers of the Dutch West Indies company captured the fort in 1637 and turned the Portuguese church in the forts interior into a slave market.[The history of West African slavery is inseparable from American history. Nearly 35million  American have ancestors who were shipped from similar forts scattered along the coast fron Senegal to Cameroun.]  The British bought out Dutch interest in the forts in 1872.  In the afternoon we will also visit the Cape coast castle built by the British in 1664.

DAY 15  ANOMABO – ACCRA
Early morning departure for Accra. The African metropolis founded around 1200 by the GA population began trading with the Portuguese. In the following  years the trade in gold and palm oil changed to slavery for guns and thus inviting  the Danes, the Dutch and the British to the Coast. After slavery, the British established their Gold coast colony with its Capital at Accra in 1877.  in the 20th century ,Accra thrived as  a legitimate  shipping port exporting Cocoa, Rubber, Gold, and Palm oil.
 One of the interesting points to visit in Accra is the district of the Carpenters who make elaborate, colorful COFFINS in forms of AIRPLANES, FRUITS, FISH, BUILDINGS etc. Also interesting is the National Museum which houses interesting ethnographic, historical and art collections from all over the continent of Africa . Ceremonial objects like gilded  umbrellas, carved royal stools, metal swords and intricately woven silk Kente cloth are on display.
