In Part 2 of Batavia's Graveyard, the Batavia and its crew depart Table Bay in southern Africa and continue their voyage to the Dutch East Indies. The Schipper, Ariaen Jacobs had just been publicly dressed down in front of the crew for his drunken rowdiness, and both Jacobsz and Jeronimus Cornelisz begin planning a mutiny. As the ship races across the Indian Ocean, they run into an unexpected archipelago of coral islands, the Houtman's Abrolhos, off the coast of Western Australia. The Batavia is wrecked, and those on board struggle to make it to dry land. Pelsaert and Jacobsz depart for Java in the longboat to get help, and Cornelisz makes his move and assumes command of the survivors. Dr. Howard Gray joins me again as my guest.
