The EIC's Forgotten Shipwreck: The Grosvenor and Indian Ocean Piracy

In 1782, the British East India Company ship Grosvenor wrecked off the coast of South Africa, stranding over a hundred passengers and crew. The survivors faced starvation, wild animals, and hostile locals, yet the tragedy also exposed the company's brutal indifference to its own people. This episode dives into the Grosvenor disaster, the piracy of Henry Avery, and the fragile ties of empire across the Indian Ocean. #Grosvenor #HenryAvery #EastIndiaCompany #IndianOcean #shipwreck #piracy #SouthAfrica #18thcentury #CompanyBahadur #MughalEmpire #Aurangzeb #Ganj-i-Sawai #SwahiliCoast #MalabarCoast #BombayMarine #IndianOceanTrade #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
