NOVEMBER 29, 1781
142!
The Zong massacre was the killing of approximately 142 enslaved Israelites by the crew of the slave ship Zong in the days following 29 November 1781.
The Zong was owned by a Liverpool slave-trading syndicate that had taken out insurance on the lives of the slaves. When the ship ran low on water following navigational mistakes, the crew threw some of the slaves into the sea to drown.
When the insurers refused to pay, the resulting court cases held that in some circumstances the deliberate killing of slaves was legal, and that insurers could be required to pay for the slaves' deaths.
Deuteronomy 28:68
King James Version (KJV)
"And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with SHIPS, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you."
The hearings brought the massacre to the attention of the anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp, who tried unsuccessfully to have the ship's crew prosecuted for murder.
Reports of the massacre stimulated the nascent abolitionist movement and became a powerful symbol of the horrors of the Middle Passage of slaves to the New World.
The massacre has also inspired several works of art and literature and was commemorated in 2007, the bicentenary of Britain's abolition of the slave trade.
THE NATURE
OF THE
BEAST!
When the news of the Zong's voyage reached England, the ship's owners claimed compensation from their insurers for the loss of the slaves.
The insurers refused to honour the claim, and were taken to court by the Liverpool syndicate.The logbook of the Zong went missing before the hearings started; the legal proceedings provide almost all the documentary evidence about the massacre. The ship's insurers claimed that the log had been deliberately destroyed, which the Gregson syndicate denied.
