Descriptionof The Slave Trader
Manufacturer

In the late summer of 1754, Bryan Blundell stood on Liverpools bustling waterfronta man whose life story mirrored the citys rise from a market settlement to a major maritime metropolis. Rising from humble beginnings as a ships boy, he became a captain, merchant, and philanthropist, as well as serving twice as mayor. He founded the Blue Coat School, left an enduring civic legacy, and helped shape the Liverpool we know today. Yet his wealthlike that of the city itselfwas inextricably linked to the transatlantic slave trade. Ships he owned and ventures he financed tied his name to unspeakable human suffering. Drawing on Blundells own diary, as well as shipping records, sermons, and municipal archives, this book paints a vivid and unflinching portrait of a man and a cityshaped by ambition, faith, and contradiction. It is a story that tells not only of prosperity and charity but also of the hidden costs upon which they were built.
