Slave raid of Suðuroy
The Slave raid of Suðuroy was a slave raid by North African Barbary pirates that took place in the Faroe Islands in the summer of 1629. More than thirty people, mainly women and children, were taken from the archipelago's southern island, Suðuroy. None were ever ransomed, and remained slaves in North Africa.
