A Dark Chapter in History: The Zong Massacre
In the depths of 1790, a abominable crime took place aboard the slave ship Zong. Driven by callousness, the ship's captain, {Lord Graeme|Captain Luke|John|], instructed that over 130 African captives be thrown into the sea. This act was not a random event, but a deliberate decision driven by a need to increase insurance payout for the lost slaves.
