It turns out that Black The Blind Boar did NOT root up a truffle -- just a
petar -- which has hoist him.

As far as I can remember, and it's years since I read all this stuff up,
the big slaving ports were Bristol, which doesn't care because they've
still got all the money, and Liverpool, which wallows in victim status
as a matter of policy, and never apologises for anything.
However:

On 9 December 1999 Liverpool City Council passed a formal motion
apologising for the City’s part in the slave trade. It was unanimously
agreed that Liverpool acknowledges its responsibility for its
involvement in three centuries of the slave trade. The City Council
has made an unreserved apology for Liverpool’s involvement and
the continual effect of slavery on Liverpool’s black communities.
