Frontier Estate on map by James Robertson, 1804

Frontier Estate was a sugar plantation located in Port Maria, Jamaica.[1] The estate covered 1.415 acres which were worked by 325 enslaved Africans in 1832.[2] Following emancipation in 1834, the formerly enslaved Africans were obliged to remain on the plantations as "apprentices", whereby they worked as before for three-quarters of their time, but were free to sell their labour outside these hours.[3] Originally planned to last eight years, public pressure brought these "apprenticeships" to an end in 1838. At this time there were 268 "apprentices".[2]
