Marcus Garvey

Garvey was taken by train to New Orleans, where around a thousand supporters saw him onto the SS Saramaca

Saturday Dec 3, 1927
New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.

On being released, Garvey was taken by train to New Orleans, where around a thousand supporters saw him onto the SS Saramaca on 3 December. The ship then stopped at Cristóbal in Panama, where supporters again greeted him, but where the authorities refused his request to disembark. He then transferred to the SS Santa Maria, which took him to Kingston.
