I think they should get 40 lashes each. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]
Seriously, though, I don't think they will be able to show a duty, damages, causation, or foreseeability. Maybe they chould show causation and damages. But, it was not at all foreseeable at the time, and no duty was owed to the slaves at the time under the "reasonable person" standard -- they were simply chattel. Fault by Lloyd's would be determined by looking to what was reasonable at the time.
