Show Notes

This week on Tales of History and Imagination we return to the wreck of the Batavia. In part two we follow the adventures of the 48 in the longboat as they make their way along Australia’s Western coast; learn a little more about Francisco Pelsaert, and speak of the first of the murders on Batavia’s Graveyard. 

This is part three of a four parter.


Trigger warnings: Murder, colonialism, accidental poisoning.
