A character uses far more “coca wine” (a mix of cocaine and wine) than prescribed; we see the effect this has on his mental state some time later.

Season 1, episode 3
You see many dead rats in the middle of the episode and at the very end you see a dead seal. You don’t see any of the animals being killed, just the aftermath.
Season 1, episode 6
Towards the beginning of the episode you see a dead seal being gutted. Later, you hear the monkey bashing itself into walls in a small room and hear it making noises and can see some blood on the walls, but you can't see the monkey itself. Then, you see it after it has died when it is being examined.
Season 1, episode 7
You see the body of the monkey again for quite awhile.

Not full torture, but a character is whipped about a third of the way into the season. This punishment, while in-line with naval protocol of the time, is noted by the other characters to be particularly harsh, especially given the offense.

In the second episode of season 1, a character is shot in front of his daughter. The other characters attempt to take care of him, but he succumbs to his injuries later in the episode and dies. A family is killed off-screen, though their corpses are later shown. A character dies whose ward (biologically his niece) has multiple scenes with him and his wife. Some characters that die are based on men who historically had children, though they are not mentioned in the show.

Although the character in question has not yet died, there is an instance where his spirit shows up like a ghost in the first episode. An Inuit nature spirit (in the form of a bear) also serves as one of the main antagonists to the characters.

A character, upon the death of his lover, walks out into the arctic wastes with no provisions and lays down on the rocks. He is never seen again and heavily implied to have died. Another character offers to sacrifice himself to the party's pursuer to buy them time because he knows he will die soon anyways.

CW for S1Ep4: a gay man is lashed quite brutally. It was personally very upsetting to me. it's also uncomfortable in an episode prior that the same man was called a sinner and r*pist for consensual gay sex (hinted at, off screen).
CW S1Ep8: one of the gay men becomes unhinged/violent.

The deaths are not because of their orientations nor are they killed off more than other not explicitly queer men.

There is so much. Multiple amputations (toes, leg), an autopsy (includes cutting of ribs and removal of lungs), multiple bullet wounds, two instances of characters cutting out their tongues (one implied off-screen, though we see the blood of the aftermath, and one on-screen, in graphic detail), and many others I'm sure I'm missing.

Victorian-era rifles and guns are used to shoot at an attacking animal and a man is shot unintentionally when he is thought to be a bear. The level of gun violence is no more than would be expected for a show of this setting and genre.
