The Mignonette was on its way from England to Australia in 1884 when it began taking on water and sinking.

Four of the crew members made it out alive and were floating
aboard a 13-foot lifeboat. Nineteen days into the voyage the men began to stir. They were without food and drinkable water and began to suggest cannibalism. Richard
Parker was young (only 17), and therefore had no wife or children to go back to. He was also in rough shape, so the other three men decided to kill and eat Parker in order
to survive. Five days later the men washed ashore and were eventually convicted of murder and cannibalism. They were later released after the public sympathized with
their situation.https://nigeriacircle.com/tops/flesh-and-bone-8-gruesome-cases-of-cannibalism-throughout-history/
