This week on Tales of History and Imagination we return one last time to the wreck of the Batavia. This is where things, finally, go all ‘Lord of the Flies’ on Batavia’s Graveyard. 

This is part four of a four parter - thanks for hanging in there with me all… I promise a load of one parters in the back half of the year.

Trigger warnings: murder, rape, descriptions of death by dehydration, a pitched battle and a handful of executions.   

Sources Include:

Batavia’s Graveyard by Mike Dash And Batavia by Peter Fitzsimons.
