Slavery History Trail

Liverpool's historical wealth came at a great price to numerous innocent people as the city boomed due to the prolific slave trade industry. Liverpool was a major slaving port and its ships and merchants dominated the transatlantic slave trade in the second half of the 18th century. The town and its inhabitants derived great civic and personal wealth from the trade, which laid the foundations for the port's future growth.
