The report examines the establishment of a line of mail steamships to the western coast of Africa, aimed at promoting emigration of free persons of color from the United States to Liberia. It discusses the broader intention of strengthening the United States' naval presence and enhancing commerce while addressing issues related to the African slave trade. At the start of this report, the Naval Committee lays out the context for the memorial submitted by Judge Joseph Bryan and his associates, advocating for the creation of a steamship line to facilitate the transportation of free blacks to Liberia. The committee highlights the inadequacy of the current American naval fleet compared to other nations and discusses the potential benefits of increased maritime trade and the suppression of the slave trade. They emphasize the need for a larger steam navy to support commerce and aid in public objectives, while examining the historical significance and operational successes of the American Colonization Society.
