The Barbados Landship is one of the longest cultural institutions we have. Its origins date back as far as 1863 and has been a part of the working class community. The cultural institution has been battled with many struggles from harsh criticisms of mockery to financial instability and to its relevance to stay active and alive. The Barbados Landship more than any cultural movement in this country represents the ideology of creolisation. It is the ultimate representation of a post colonial Barbadian dealing with notions of identity traversing through a space designed by colonialism through an African body. To rid of a maritime criminal and his culture of white supremacy, to replace him with an indigenous maritime on land entity would be better. I’m aware there is a monument for the Landship outside the The Steel Shed in Queen’s Park, but a statue in commemoration would be better to me.
