Today, we’re diving into one of history’s most chilling maritime disasters—the wreck of Batavia. A story of shipwreck, mutiny, and unimaginable brutality. In 1629, Batavia ran aground off the Abrolhos Islands, and what followed was one of the darkest chapters in Australian maritime history. Over 125 men, women, and children were murdered. But this isn’t just a story of disaster—it’s one of greed, survival, and a decades-long archaeological quest to piece together the truth.
