I think we all know the stories of sailors in history getting shipwrecked or stuck at sea and having to make the horrible choice to resort to cannibalism. In the 19th century this was such a problem that it caused decades of legal headaches until the courts finally decided to settle the matter with the case of Dudley and Stephens. There was Brooks too, but everyone seems to just forgive him the cannibalism for... reasons?
