Being Dutch, I thought I knew the story of the Batavia, a 17th century East India merchantman, built in Amsterdam, which struck a reef on the west coast of Australia on her maiden voyage towards Batavia, modern day Jakarta. It's told in every Dutch school, but not in much detail. And although a mutiny was pas of the story, I never really realized what that actually ment. I mean, that's what sailors in those days get involved with right?
This series of four parts does the storytelling in an amount of detail which gave me the creeps. Even more so after using Google Earth to explore the places and dive into the story further. Viewer discretion advised.
