Description

Centres of the slave trade in East Africa patrolled by the Royal Navy. Illustrated London news 1875. Wood engraving. From the description at Wellcome Collection: "We have on a former occasion given some views, from sketches made by a son of Sir Bartle Frere and by several officers of his suite or of HMS Enchantress, showing the places on the coast to the south of Zanzibar, such as Quiloa or Kilwa, the Rovuma and Angoxa rivers, and the Comoro Isles, in the Mozambique Channel. Captain Stratford Tuke, R.N., commanding H.M.S. RifIeman, has favoured us with other sketches, giving views of the principal places to the north of Zanzibar. Mombasa and Melinde, situated about three or four degrees south of the Equator, are the most important. Illustrated London news, loc. cit."
