from Defragged History Podcast · host Defragged History
The full story of the 17th century shipwreck of the Dutch United East India Company's return ship "The Batavia" in Australia. *Episode 3: Devil and the Deep Blue Sea* In 1628, the largest Dutch United East India Company's Returnship, "The Batavia," was on her way to Batavia, VOC headquarters on Java in the East Indies, when she crashed off the coast of Australia with over 300 souls on board and very valuable cargo. The Upper Merchant Francisco Pelsaert reached company headquarters and hoped the Governor-General Jan Pieterszn. Coen would send help. In the meantime, on the islands, Under Merchant Jeronimus Cornelisz plotted to take over any rescue ship once it arrived and go pirating. He was gathering mutineers, but everyone else had to go. 🎥 Full YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5kdplBvGykV0m6aWm-6hDoleMWtiHFth *SOURCES AND INFO* 🌐 Website: https://defraggedhistory.com 📖 Sources: https://defraggedhistory.com/bibliography-the-batavia/ 🎶 Music: https://defraggedhistory.com/the-batavia-podcast-music-list/ All music is licensed through Epidemic Sound. *SOCIALS* Twitter: https://twitter.com/DefraggedH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/defraggedhistory/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defraggedhistory/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@defraggedhistory Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/defraggedhistory.bsky.social *CHAPTERS* 00.
