Naval hero Michiel de Ruyter was one of the first Dutchmen to set foot in Sierra Leone, a later (and now former) British colony in West Africa. Like other seafarers, he docked there in the seventeenth century to stock up on fresh water. Next to the spring, De Ruyter engraved his name and the year 1664 on a rock. Vice-Admiral Jan Meppel also left his name at this spot, where the capital Freetown now stands.
