"Exploring the Rich Tapestry of Anglo-American History: From Benjamin Lay to King George VI" Step back in time to the mid-18th century, where Benjamin Lay, a prominent Quaker abolitionist, fought tirelessly against slavery. His powerful activism between 1750 and 1758 left an indelible mark on history.

Built in 1902, this vessel symbolized the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the Anglo-American era. In another corner of history lies King George VI's visit to America. The iconic cover of Illustrated London News captures his momentous journey as he strengthened ties between nations during uncertain times.
