The Story Behind the Design
60 Years. 150,000 Freed. Forgotten by History.
They told you about the slave trade but not the 60-year naval campaign to end it. The West Africa Squadron patrolled the coast of Africa, intercepting slave ships and freeing captive men, women and children. It was one of the longest, most costly humanitarian operations in history, and barely anyone knows about it. This mug carries that story forward.
