UK-based newspaper The Guardian, in a recent report, is suggesting that the innovation behind England’s rise as the world’s leading iron exporter during the Industrial Revolution was actually appropriated from an 18th-century Jamaican foundry. The technique known as the Cort process, credited to English ironmaster Henry Cort, allowed mass production of wrought iron from scrap iron for the first time. However, an analysis of correspondence, shipping records, and contemporary newspaper reports reveals that this innovation was initially developed by 76 black Jamaican metallurgists at an ironworks near Morant Bay, Jamaica.
Profiting From the Hard Labor of West Africans
Many of these skilled metalworkers were enslaved individuals from West and Central Africa, where iron-working industries thrived. The research sheds light on their contributions and challenges the narrative that solely credits Cort as the inventor. The Jamaican ironworks, owned by white enslaver John Reeder, was forcibly shut down. Cort acquired the machinery from the Jamaican foundry, shipped it to England, patented the technique, and gained recognition as the inventor.
Challenging the Narrative of Innovation
The innovation involved the use of grooved rollers to mechanize the process of removing impurities from low-quality iron, transforming it into valuable wrought iron. By 1781, the Jamaican ironworks was making a significant profit, while Cort faced bankruptcy. The English government later ordered the destruction of the Jamaican ironworks, fearing its potential use by rebels. Cort learned of the Jamaican ironworks through a visiting cousin who transported seized equipment from Jamaica to England.
Dr. Jenny Bulstrode, a lecturer in the history of science and technology at University College London, emphasizes the significance of challenging existing narratives of innovation and acknowledging the contributions of black people, including those who were enslaved in Jamaica during the 18th century.
The research not only highlights the hidden history of technological advancement but also has implications for the reparations movement, providing documentation of the genesis of science and technology and promoting the discourse of technological transfer as a key aspect of reparations.

largest trading partner in the region. Numerous Chinese companies are involved in small and large-scale projects in Guyana.
Based on a joint statement issued after President Ali met China’s President Xi Jinping, the two countries committed to deepening bilateral relations with a keen focus on deepening trade and investment ties.
President Xi, when he met President Ali last week, said his country stands ready to support Guyana’s development path, strengthen communication and cooperation, and advance bilateral relations.
Beyond the relationship between Guyana and China, President Ali says the South-Asian nation is well-positioned to provide global leadership.
“This is the leadership that will set you apart from the rest and this is the leadership that the developing world and Guyana believes that you can offer.
“This is the leadership we know you are capable of delivering and we know that you will not let us down and Guyana will stand strong in support of you in providing this leadership,” President Ali said as he offered remarks at a ceremony held in Beijing.
northern Brazil, it is believed that China can provide much-needed support to that project.
This is according to Guyana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hugh Todd who travelled with President Dr. Irfaan Ali for a visit to China.
Todd, while speaking at a reception held at Guyana’s embassy in Beijing on Sunday, said Guyana has been forming “strategic alliances” across the globe. China is one example, he said, of a strategic partner.
Because of this partnership, he believes China is well-positioned to provide more support to Guyana as it constructs the massive roadway between Guyana and Brazil.
“…. with the partnership that we have with China and the partnership that we have with Brazil, to unlock the potential that we have to connect northern Brazil with the rest of the world, we see China as a critical member of the BRICS community playing a great role in ensuring that we make that alignment possible,” Todd said while addressing the event on Sunday.
The BRICS comprises some of the world’s most populated countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Guyana sits at the northern edge of the South American continent and believes that it can become a key transhipment hub for the continent and Caribbean region.
Over the past two years, works on the Linden to Mabura leg of the road project have advanced with a Brazilian company, Construtora Queiroz Galvao S.A. copping the whopping US$190 million contract for this roadway.
Already, Guyana is China’s largest trading partner in the Caribbean and the two countries are hoping to deepen bilateral ties with a huge focus on boosting trade and investment promotion.
This road project is viewed as one that will help Guyana expand trade even more.
Todd also affirmed that the two countries share a “solid” and “unshakeable” partnership that bodes well for Guyanese and Caribbean people.
