Gorée is a small island 900 metres/3,000 feet in length and 350 metres/1,165 feet in width sheltered by the Cape Vert Peninsula. Now part of the city of Dakar, it was a minor port and site of European settlement along the coast. Gorée is famous as a destination for people interested in the Atlantic slave trade but relatively few slaves were processed or transported from there.
