Latest update from Africa Oye Festival
‘Black Salt: Britain’s Black Sailors’ at Merseyside Maritime Museum reveals the contribution Black seafarers have made to some of the most significant maritime events of the past 500 years.
The exhibition is based on the book ‘Black Salt: Seafarers of African Descent on British Ships’ by historian Ray Costello. It combines personal stories, historic data, objects and memorabilia to chart a course through the often troubled waters of Britain’s maritime past and explore the work of Black sailors. Historically overlooked, Black Salt shows how Black seafarers contended with the dangers and hazards of life at sea, and challenged inequality on board and ashore.
