The HMS Daphne

In 1868, the HMS Daphne saved a bunch of people who had been slaves. This ship was part of the Royal Navy and worked to stop the slave trade off the eastern coast of Africa. Slavers used to sail from Zanzibar to Aden, so the Royal Navy patrolled that area. After the Slave Trade Act of 1807, the Royal Navy sent many ships to stop the terrible trade in slaves.
