A Stain on Humanity: The Zong Massacre
In the depths of 1825, a monstrous deed 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 dumped to their deaths. This act was not a random event, but a deliberate decision driven by a calculation to secure insurance payout for the lost slaves.
