In the late summer of 1754, Bryan Blundell stood at Liverpool's bustling waterfront - a man whose life traced the city's rise from market town to maritime powerhouse. From humble beginnings as a cabin boy, he became captain, merchant, philanthropist, and twice mayor. He founded the Blue Coat School, left a lasting civic legacy, and helped shape the Liverpool we know today.<br><br>But his fortune, like the city's, was bound to the Atlantic slave trade. Ships he owned and ventures he financed tied his name to immense human suffering.<br><br>Drawing on Blundell's own journal alongside shipping records, sermons, and civic archives, this book offers a vivid, unflinching portrait of both a man and a city - one of ambition, faith, and contradiction. It is a story not just of prosperity and philanthropy, but also of the hidden costs that underpinned them.
