Fishing Heritage of Elmina
Fishing knowledge in Elmina from the pre-colonial era to today. From the dugout paddle canoe to the motorised mixed fleet, this exhibition traces how the Edina community's covenant with the sea has evolved, what has been gained, what is disappearing, and what the fishermen themselves say about the water they have worked for generations.
