Chasing Freedom: The Royal Navy and the Suppression of the Transatlantic Slave Trade

(now permanently in the Victory Gallery)

Chasing Freedom is a special exhibition which marked the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the Slave Trade. It presents for the first time the Royal Navy's role in combatting the trade and its continuing work in defending human rights across the world today.
