- Summary:
- "Simon's Town, the port city situated along the False Bay Coast of Cape Town, South Africa, is a popular tourist destination with a quintessentially British feel because of its historical links to the British Royal Navy. Whereas this aspect of the town's history has been well-documented, there is another aspect of Simon's Town's history that has been sadly neglected. This is the story of a number of people who, at a certain point in history, found themselves in the desperate predicament of having to navigate their lives as "slaves" in Simon's Town." -- Provided by publisher.
