From Captain John Perkins to the cabin-boy Olaudah Equiano, the black presence in the Royal Navy and Britain’s merchant fleets was a constant throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries. Who were these black mariners and what was their status? Taking in Jamaica, the Arctic Circle, London and Trafalgar, writer and historian S I Martin brings to life a little-known side of Britain’s naval history.
