Bermuda African Diaspora Trail

Pilot Darrell was one of Bermuda's first King's Pilots and the first known black person to own property on the island. This house was passed onto his wife and children, and was restored and is still owned by his direct descendants. Pilot Darrell fought for the rights of free blacks and slaves.

Someone currently lives there so please don't go in the home/property.

Pilot Darrell's Square was built in 1795 and purchased by James Darrell in 1800

James Darrell spent most of his life being a slave. At age 47, Pilot Darrell was granted his freedom in recognition of his skill navigating the Royal Naval flagship HMS Resolution through the Narrows Channel in 1795.
