Jonathan Miles
In June 1816, the Medusa, flagship of a French expedition set sail. She ran aground off the West African coast. In the evacuation 146 men and one woman were herded aboard a makeshift raft. Starving, they slaughtered mutineers and ate their dead companions. This work presents a study of the Medusa tragedy.
