A very interesting talk by local author and historian Kevin Patience on the activities of the Royal Navy on the East African coast between 1870 and 1896 with a Dorset connection. 

During the 19th century the island of Zanzibar was the centre of the Arab slave trade and following British pressure the slave market closed in 1873. But that was not the end, and the Royal Navy were tasked with bringing this trade in human misery to an end now it had moved to the neighbouring island of Pemba.  Royal Navy sail and steam gunboats were stationed at Zanzibar and patrolled the coast chasing slave dhows and releasing slaves in Mombasa. 

On the Kenya coast there were at least four uprisings between 1890 and 1896 which led to the Admiralty signal 'Send a Gunboat'. A sign they meant business! Gunboats were extremely versatile vessels of around 1,000 tons whose job was keeping the peace and supporting the occasional expedition ashore.  While the death of the Sultan in Zanzibar in August 1896 saw the Royal Navy engaged in the Shortest War in History that lasted just 45 minutes when they destroyed the seafront palace and harem.

Kevin tells these stories together with his discovery and research of a forgotten naval grave in Pemba with a Dorset connection dating back to 1887 and meeting a present day descendant.
