He actually instructed the child’s mother to pick up the baby and toss the lifeless body into the water. When the mother sobbed in misery and sadness, the captain thrashed her cruelly until she picked up the infant and hurled it into the sea. She couldn’t believe what had occurred and turned away to avoid seeing her child fall into the water. All of this occurred in the presence of other black slaves who groaned and screamed out in agony at what the captain had done to a helpless infant and his mother.

The cook who prepared the water dipped his finger into it and declared it to be too hot for a person to drink. But, in a fit of wrath, the captain ordered them to submerge the baby’s feet in boiling water. They placed the baby’s feet into the boiling water right away, and the nails and skin fell off. The captain didn’t stop after the baby’s skin and toe nails peeled away. He wrapped the baby’s foot in cloths and oil and then tied the child to a big log of wood for two to three days. He still wanted the child to eat by force after those days, cursing and saying, “I will make you eat, or I will be your death."When the captain tried to feed the infant again and the child refused, he kept his word and whipped the ’10-month-old baby’ for around 15 minutes, which led to the death of the baby. He didn’t stop there, either. He actually instructed the child’s mother to pick up the baby and toss the lifeless body into the water.

2021-08-23 18:13:09 How White Slave-ship Captain Dipped A Black Baby Into Boiling Water Before Flogging Him To Death In 1832

In 1832, the captain of a ship transporting captured Africans, dipped a black baby into boiling water. It was said and documented that the incident occurred while Black slaves were being carried from Africa, which astonished everyone. A ten-month-old baby was grumpy and refused to eat. It bothered the captain, since that was money they were going to make. As a result, the captain pulled the baby away from his mother and tried to compel him to eat while striking him. He was enraged and shouted, “I’ll force you to eat or I’ll murder you.” The captain’s treatment of the infant, as well as the terrible conditions the newborn was subjected to on the ship, caused the youngster’s leg to swell. The commander directed his crew to boil some water to use in dousing the child’s swollen legs. Either he cared for the infant or he was simply attempting to save a product for the market……….
