Few residents or visitors to South Lakeland know much about Captain Joseph Fayrer of Milnthorpe, and even fewer the achievements of the nautical dynasty he founded. This book, by local author and maritime researcher, Leonard Smith, explores Fayrer’s role as an eighteenth-century slave ship captain and privateer, his extensive knowledge of the slave trade in Africa and the West Indies, and his work as the Liverpool agent for the Low Wood Gunpowder Company.
