""A Three Years' Cruise in the Mozambique Channel: For the Suppression of the Slave Trade"" is a historical account written by Frederick Lamport Barnard in 1848. The book recounts Barnard's experiences during his three-year voyage in the Mozambique Channel, where he was tasked with suppressing the slave trade. The Mozambique Channel was a major route for the slave trade during the 19th century, and Barnard's mission was to intercept and capture slave ships. The book provides a detailed account of the challenges faced by Barnard and his crew during their mission, including the difficult conditions at sea, encounters with hostile vessels, and the physical and emotional toll of their work. Barnard also describes the methods used by slave traders to evade detection, such as disguising their ships and using false documentation. Throughout the book, Barnard provides a vivid portrayal of the impact of the slave trade on the people of Africa, including the brutal treatment of slaves and the devastating effects on families and communities. He also discusses the political and economic factors driving the slave trade, and the efforts of various nations to suppress it. Overall, ""A Three Years' Cruise in the Mozambique Channel"" is a compelling and informative account of a critical period in the history of the slave trade, and the efforts of those who worked to end it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
