The Batavia: Shipwreck, Mutiny and Massacre in Australia

<p>In sixteen twenty-nine, a Dutch ship struck a reef off Western Australia. Two hundred and eighty survivors crawled onto barren coral islands. Their commander sailed for help — and the man left in charge built a small kingdom of murder, methodically killing over a hundred men, women and children under a blazing sun.</p><p>August Mercer tells one of the darkest stories in Australian history, and the ordinary soldier who built a fort out of rocks and stopped it. This is Six Feet of History — five minutes of the past they'd rather you forget.</p><p><em>Follow for a new story every day. A Dark Whisper Studios production</em></p>
