Show Notes

In October of 1628, the Dutch East India Company’s flagship, the Batavia, set sail from the Netherlands and was headed to the East Indies where they were to collect a massive amount of spices. There were over 300 people aboard the ship but some of them would never make it to their destination because a member of the crew had very sinister plans.
