The Zorg

In this compelling audiobook, Siddharth Kara recounts the harrowing journey of the slave ship Zorg, which set sail in 1780 and became pivotal in the abolitionist movement. After being intercepted by a privateer and converted to British command, the Zorg was destined for Jamaica but faced catastrophic misfortune, leading to a morally fraught legal battle in England's highest court. Narrated by Dion Graham, whose expressive and clear delivery enhances the gripping narrative, the story explores the profound implications of this tragic voyage and its role in elevating the fight against slavery in both England and the United States.
