Alexis' choice of a topic, The Batavia was a Dutch ship in the 1600s that shipwrecked off the coast of Australia with 340 people onboard. What followed was nothing short of a horror story which involved murder and mutiny. The majority of the episode content comes straight from the Commander's journal: http://museum.wa.gov.au/maritime-archaeology-db/sites/default/files/no._136_pelsaertjournal.pdfOther Sources: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Dutch-East-India-Companyhttps://www.sea.museum/2016...
