Boats crowd the shore of Elmina, a fishing village just west of Cape Coast, Ghana, May 16. In the late 1400s, the city on the Gulf of Guinea was populated by Portuguese who sought to profit by trading gold, ivory and slaves there. Today, St. George's Castle stands on the shore as a bitter reminder of the past while the present plays out in the hustling of boats and sounds of fishermen making their livelihood off the shore.
