120: The Royal Navy West Africa (Anti-Slavery) Squadron
Send me a message
The Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron is a small and often forgotten part in the fight to end slavery.
Join My Supporter's Club
For 60 years, Royal Navy vessels, patrolled the west coast of Africa and the Atlantic capturing over 1,500 slave ships and liberating 150,000 slaves.
It was an exercise which cost the lives of 1,600 Royal Navy sailors, one for roughly every 100 slaves liberated.
