Mutiny on the Batavia 

I'm Dutch and like the presentation. This story deserves a movie. Unbelievable story and it teaches also about human behaviour in dire situations.

I'm surprised Hollywood has not made a movie or series about this ship wreck..

"you haven't passed out have you? Damn, I thought I had one". Love it. I remember a guy at school fainting during a first aid lecture when the lecturer was talking about blood. There was an excellent documentary shown on British TV about the Batavia years ago.

No one _knew_ that Lucretia was _having an affair with Paelcart._ It was simply ship gossip, and nothing more. Gossip was one of the biggest pastimes on the ship. She was a happily married woman on the way to see her husband. Just bc she tended to the man in his cabin doesnt mean, and strikes me as highly unlikely (given what is known of her character) that she did.

Of all the main characters involved in the Batavia story, the one that dissappeared to history was Lucretia Jans. I hope one day someone discovers what became of her after she returned to Amsterdam

awesome vid

He got some information seriously wrong. For example, tge pastor's famiky was NOT in the hospital tent when patients were murdered. Rather the pastor's had been invited to dine with Cornelisz, and while hexwas there mutineets, on Cornelisz orders, went to the family tent and murdered the family. Also, the oldest daughter was not "given" by the pastor to Huyssen: rather, huyysen demanded her and the family, including the daughter, agreed she would go... under the pretext that he'd later marry her when rescued. I stopped listening... HOW can anyone not do proper research??

Can’t think of any historical story that can top this one…anything come close?

seems like lord of the flies

Turns my blood cold to think about this story. And about what people will do to save their own skins. Today’s society could use some examples of what it is to be “broken on the wheel “

Ive never trusted a cyborg. Ever. Theyll make friends of the sharks. Thell destoy us.. ...(should we be in. Salt water)

step down your soap box mate! you have no idea how these things work and a terrible weird few of history!
