Robben Island is famously known as the location where numerous South African political detainees, including Nelson Mandela, were imprisoned. It served as a regular anchorage for transiting ships during the 16th and 17th centuries. The island also functioned as a leper asylum from 1846 until 1931, and those deemed mentally ill were confined there as well.
