Toten Island (Swahili Kisiwa cha Toten, adapted from German Toteninsel, meaning "Island of the Dead") is a small uninhabited and protected island situated north of the city of Tanga's harbour in Tanga Region, Tanzania. It is within the Tanga Bay. The island is administered by both the Tanzania Marine Parks and Reserves (Which is under the Misnistry of Natural Resources and Tourism) and the City of Tanga.[2] The island is a historical site that contains ruins of two Medieval Swahili mosques and tombs.[3] The current name comes from the German word for "dead bodies" alluding to the numerous graves on the island.[4] Until 1854 Toten Island was still inhabited by people. In 1884 the remaining people moved to what is present day Tanga city.[5]
