HMS Wager Shipwreck | Episode 3 | Run to the Devil

The HMS Wager had shipwrecked while on a mission against Spain in the War of Jenkins' Ear. The survivors had made a settlement on what they called Wager Island. They had a Barge, a Cutter and a Yawl, and were lengthening the Longboat so they could take the 100 or so survivors off the island. But there was disagreement in the leadership on which route to take.*Support the Channel*Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/u83314446Paypal https://defraggedhistory.com/support/Buy me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/defraggedhcFree Newsletter Subscription: Substack https://substack.com/@defraggedhistory 🎥Full Playlist YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5kdplBvGykXSqQaBrMnrv_HnvMeLTL7xEpisode 1 - The Most Mad Seas:  ⁠https://youtu.be/i3bRsdIkpxM⁠Episode 2 - Mission Control: ⁠https://youtu.be/SjEi5dPWJIk⁠Episode 3 - Run to the Devil: ⁠https://youtu.be/bZLVvXv5J74⁠Episode 4 - Perish or Pull: ⁠https://youtu.be/72Hine-UuWs⁠Episode 5 - Unfortunate Adventures: ⁠https://youtu.be/DKuw7E_lN8M⁠*SOURCES AND INFO*🌐 Website: https://defraggedhistory.com/📖 Sources: https://defraggedhistory.com/bibliography-the-wager/🎶 Music: https://defraggedhistory.com/hms-wager-the-music/All music is licensed through Epidemic Sound. 📷Images and stock footage from Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Pexels.com, Pixabay.com, and own work.
