Memorial for the French who died here. From Wikipedia: The bay was the site of a battle in the eighteenth century between French explorers and islanders in Tutuila, for which the Samoans were blamed in the West, giving them a reputation for ferocity, and from which the bay gets its name. The story roughly goes that there was a misunderstanding and the frenchies killed a local boy. The Samoans retaliated. Guns win over sticks and rocks. Many more Samoans were killed than French, but the French have a monument.
