Original Note:
Britain's Royal Navy played a decisive role in ending transatlantic slavery. Between 1808 and 1860, it captured around 1,600 slave ships and freed over 150,000 African slaves. To accomplish this, the lives of thousands of British crewmen were sacrificed. https://www.history.co.uk/article/the-blockade-of-africa-how-royal-naval-ships-suppressed-the-slave-trade
