The first settlers were primarily English, but there were also Dutch and Portuguese who increased the island's labour force by the importation of slaves from the East Indies and Madagascar. These were later augmented by slaves from the Gold Coast of Africa. From 1679, passing ships were 'taxed' one Madagascaran slave, and slaves were also brought in from Bombay and the Maldives. In 1806, the East India Company brought in 650 Cantonese slaves as gardeners, mechanics and builders: this accounts for the oriental appearance of some islanders.

The South Atlantic and Southern Ocean contain a number of small islands, almost all of which are volcanic in origin. These small dots of land in a vast windswept ocean are remote, and often inhospitable, but represent a valuable resource, as they are the only places where many rare plant, bird and mammal species can breed. Like Iceland and The Azores, many project from oceanic ridges. These pages are a reference to these fascinating islands, and will grow as I research and condense the available information.

St Helena is famous as the island to which the Emperor Napoleon was exiled: he eventually died there in 1821.
