Haven of Libreville |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Founded as a refuge for slaves freed by the French in 1849, Gabon's capital city of Libreville is on the country's northwest Atlantic coast. For nearly 100 years it was French Equatorial Africa's principal port until the harbor at Pointe-Noire opened in the neighboring Congo in 1939. Gabon's main river, the Ogooué, flows into the Atlantic Ocean just south of Libreville. | ||||||
