On February 12, 1748, with a wedding in London between Simon Reed, captain of the ship Lady Luvibund and his beloved, known to us only by her first name, Annette. The first mate on the ship, John Rivers, served as the best man at the wedding but, unknown to the happy couple, he harboured a secret jealousy of their love. He was madly in love with Annette. Blissfully unaware of the impending danger, the bride, bridegroom, and a host of their guests set off the next day on a celebratory voyage. Simon Reed took the helm for a while but then handed over to one of his men so that he could join his guests in the festivities underway below deck.  It is not known what happened next. Was impact planned by Rivers in advance or was an act of spontaneous folly. In either case, he had clearly been driven mad by his jealousy. He violently subdued the helmsman, took control of the steering wheel, and began steering it towards the nearby Goodwin Sands.The guests were still ensconced in the partying below and had no inkling of the peril they were in. Tragically, all perished in the ensuing wreck. |

Black magic or dark magic is a type of magic that draws on malevolent powers. It may be used for malevolent acts or to deliberately cause harm in some way.
In fiction it refers to evil magic. In modern times, people who believe in or claim to practice magic use the term to describe the harmful magic that they consider immoral, as opposed to the good white magic. |
