Voyage of Freedom

Title: Voyage of Freedom

In the depths of the open seas,
Where brave hearts embarked on journeys,
Navy vessels sailed through treacherous tides,
With determination, their purpose to confide.

They set forth to break the chains,
Fighting for freedom with might and aim,
Heroes who braved the tempest’s wrath,
To bring an end to the slave trade’s path.

Their weary souls fought battles dire,
Through endless nights of raging fire,
Their only respite, a glimpse of hope,
That one day, their sacrifice would help us cope.

With strength and courage, they faced the storm,
Determined to change history’s norm,
Each life lost, a painful price to pay,
For the liberation they sought on that fateful day.

Now we stand united, forever grateful,
To those sailors who were truly faithful,
Their legacy etched upon the tide,
Lord Ashcroft’s pledge ensuring they’ll never hide.
