The Royal Navy maintains a prevention squadron …
Years: 1828 - 1839
The Royal Navy maintains a prevention squadron to blockade the coast, and a permanent station is established at the Spanish colony of Fernando Po, off the Nigerian coast, and given responsibility for patrolling the West African coast.
For several decades, as many as one-sixth of all British warships will be assigned to this mission, and a squadron will be maintained at Fernando Po from 1827 until 1844.
Slaves rescued at sea are usually taken to Sierra Leone, where they are released.
British naval crews are permitted to divide prize money from the sale of captured slave ships.
Apprehended slave runners are tried by naval courts and are liable to capital punishment if found guilty.
