C4226; 'Slave Ship' folder
Censorship notes:
One of the censors wrote: 'This is a gruesome, horrifying and apparently semi-factual account of an American slave-ship in the slave trade of the early 19th century. It gives a detailed account of the killing, violence, flogging, torture, rape, brutality, bestiality, sadism and inhuman savagery of the traffic. Most of the book is extremely well written in a tough staccato style, obviously by a professional, and this increases the nauseating effect of the horror.'
