- A New Look at the Zong Case of 1783: "The crew had good reason to be anxious about their situation on 29 November when they realized that they were at least ten days’ sail from Jamaica with no more than four days’ supply of rationed water for themselves and 380 captive Africans."

- The Zong Massacre: what the dark episode meant for the British slave trade and abolition: "From start to finish, slave trading was a violent business kept in place only by draconian measures and savage punishments for any form of resistance. Chains and manacles were vital on all slave ships." (Useful for the larger historical significance of the Zong: slavery, violence aboard slave ships and the development of abolitionism) James Walvin, University of York, BBC History; November 24, 2021
