about

1781: The British slave ship 'Zong' sets sail from West Africa, bound for Jamaica's Port Royal laden with human cargo. As captain Collingwood and first mate Howard dither, the ship runs off course and gets lost in the doldrums. When disease sets in and it looks like the slaves will all die before they can be sold, bright spark Collingwood remembers that the ship's insurance covers all loss of cargo at sea. One by one, the slaves are thrown to their fate in the Atlantic.

lyrics

"Throw the cargo overboard
It's covered by our jettison clause
Tell the jury to defend
The rights of all King George's men"
