The Atrocity on the Zong
In the depths of 1790, a abominable crime took place aboard the slave ship Zong. Driven by greed, the ship's captain, {Lord Graeme|Captain Luke|John|], demanded that over 130 African captives be cast into the sea. The massacre was not a random event, but a deliberate decision driven by the desire to increase insurance payout for the lost slaves.
