Slave Huts

 Located near the salt pans on the southern end of the island, these small huts--so small you have to stoop to enter--on the shoreline were once used to house slaves, who slept 2 by 2 in the tiny huts.

They were each painted a bright color for easy visibility at sea: red, white, blue and orange. An appropriately colored flag would be hoisted to let the approaching captain know which pan to approach.
