Howard Zinn describes cannibalism by early Jamestown settlers in his book A People's History of the United States.

The survivors of the sinking of the French ship Medusa in 1816 resorted to cannibalism after four days adrift on a raft.

After the sinking of the Whaleship Essex of Nantucket by a whale, on November 20, 1820, (an important source event for Herman Melville's Moby Dick) the survivors, in three small boats, resorted, by common consent, to cannibalism in order for some to survive.

Sir John Franklin's lost polar expedition.

The Acadian Recorder (a newspaper published out of Halifax in the early 1800s) published an article in its May 27, 1826, issue telling of the wreck of the ship 'Francis Mary', en route from New Brunswick to Liverpool, England, with a load of timber. The article describes how the survivors sustained themselves by eating those who perished.

A well-documented case occurred in Chichijima in 1945, when Japanese soldiers killed and ate eight downed American airmen. This case was investigated in 1947 in a war-crimes trial, and of 30 Japanese soldiers prosecuted, five (Maj. Matoba, Gen. Tachibana, Adm. Mori, Capt. Yoshii and Dr. Teraki) were found guilty and hanged.
