What you'll see
A powerful, sobering museum on the top floor of the Maritime Museum building, on the transatlantic slave trade, the lives of enslaved Africans, and racism and freedom today.

Liverpool's ships carried more enslaved Africans across the Atlantic than those of any other British port, and much of the city's 18th-century wealth came from it.
