Photograph of Ebos Landing, which is a bend in Dunbar Creek on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Although conflicting accounts of the "Myth of the Flying Africans" exist, many locals designate this spot as the site from which a boatload of Igbo slaves either flew away or drowned themselves during an 1803 rebellion. - Metadata URL:
