A Dark Chapter in History: The Zong Massacre
In the heart of 1790, a monstrous deed 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 dumped into the sea. These horrors was not a random event, but a deliberate decision driven by a need to secure insurance payout for the lost slaves.
