...opened just 305 cruise-crime investigations from 2000 to September 2005, suggesting that either those floating hotel-casinos are some of the safest places on earth or this caseload is just the tip of the iceberg. Evidence supporting the latter: the FBI generally won't look into an onboard theft unless the items stolen are worth more than...
...There is mischief afoot onboard the S.S. Some Like It Yacht, and detective Cliff Hanger (David W. Ingber ’07) goes undercover to find out who is at the bottom of all the trouble.

On the right people arrive bound; they're examined and haggled over; they proceed across the canvas to be flogged onboard the boat that will carry them to the slave ship offshore. Eyre Crowe's Slaves Waiting for Sale, Richmond Virginia (1861), is less overt in its condemnation of the trade. Composed from a sketch of a real slave market, it shows neatly dressed women and children sitting on a bench...
