Cape Coast Castle | Full HD Tour

Special thanks to our amazing tour guide, Matilda, for making this a very informative and educational experience! Cape Coast Castle (Swedish: Carolusborg) is one of about forty "slave castles", or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa (now Ghana) by European traders. It was originally a Portuguese "feitoria" or trading post, established in 1555, which they named Cabo Corso. However, in 1653 the Swedish Africa Company constructed a timber fort there. It originally was a centre for the trade in timber and gold. It was later used in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Other Ghanaian slave castles include Elmina Castle and Fort Christiansborg. They were used to hold slaves before they were loaded onto ships and sold in the Americas, especially the Caribbean. This "gate of no return" was the last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. 00:00 Cape Coast Castle Full Tour 00:17 Cape Coast Castle History 01:40 Introduction and Male Slave Dungeons 05:52 Inside the Male Slave Dungeons & Immersive Experience 10:41 Treatment of Slaves and the Grand Passage 13:57 Q&A 15:38 The Plaque 16:29: Barrack Obama’s visit to the Cape Coast Castle 17:34 Philip Quaque’s (Kweku) Grave 18:48 Captain George Maclean’s Grave 19:37 Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s Grave 20:22 Water storage system at Cape Coast Castle 20:37 Rainwater Storage & Close up 21:19 Underground Tunnel 21:49 Cape Coast Castle’s Defence System 22:17 Explanation of the underground passage 23:15 Close up of the underground passage 23:27 Exit from the underground passage 24:08 Female Punishment Cells 25:20 The Female Dungeons & Immersive Experience 27:07 The Door of No Return 28:01 Transportation of Slaves 28:55 Door of Return & Further History 29:36 Emancipation 30:50 Why does it say “Akwaaba(welcome)” at the Door of No Return? 31:18 Immersive Experience of the Cell 32:33 Background History on the cell 33:50 The Governors conference room 34:26 Signalling System 34:42 Governor’s Bedroom & Hall 34:47 View from the Governor’s Bedroom 34:53 Reception Area 35:12 Overall View from the Governor’s Quarters 35:35 Children’s Library & Ending Thoughts Thank you for watching!
