The full story of the 17th century shipwreck of the Dutch United East India Company's return ship "The Batavia" in Australia. *Episode 4: Come Hell or High Water* In 1628, the largest Dutch United East India Company's Returnship, 'The Batavia,' on her way to Batavia, crashed on the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, off the coast of Western Australia.
