Description

Explore the history of the Royal Navy's campaign against the transatlantic slave trade in West Africa. Following the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, a squadron of British naval vessels was deployed to suppress illegal trading activities. This academic work from Liverpool University Press examines the personal and cultural experiences of the officers stationed at the frontline of this 60-year operation. Drawing on previously unpublished papers from private collections and international archives, the book provides a detailed look at the unique roles these officers held. It covers their work at sea, the boarding of slave ships bound for the Americas, and the process of liberating captive Africans.
