Honeysuckle Massacre

The Honeysuckle Massacre (Lysian: Massacre de Chèvrefeuille) was an unexplained mass killing on the Fravi merchant ship S.S. Honeysuckle in the summer of 1872. There were 78 bodies recovered, with another 17 crew members who were reported missing.

Honeysuckle departed from Port de Barbier on 8 June 1872, and was en route to Grimsby, Seylos. Honeysuckle ceased correspondence on 21 June 1872, and was declared missing one week later by Fravi authorities. On 12 July 1872, the Fravi merchant ship S.S. Azalea discovered the Honeysuckle just south of Labrador, Delamaria. The only known survivor, a cook named Vie Couteau, died from heat stroke two days after being discovered by the Azalea.

The Honeysuckle is considered the largest Fravi peacetime maritime disaster. The Honeysuckle Massacre led to a year-long investigation, and continues to remain unsolved. It has sparked much speculation about its cause by the general population.
