On Ismael's trip to the capital he went and saw a huge coton tree in town. I decided to look into it and found that it was supposedly the place where a group of former african slaves landed and had their thanksgiving service there in march  1792. The tree is now considered the symbol of Freetown and is still used for prayer today.
