Batavia's Graveyard: The True Story of the Mad Heretic Who Led History's Bloodiest Mutiny

Absolutely wild. This has like every horrible fucking thing humans can do to each other except cannibalism, which amazes me. I cannot believe I’ve never heard of it. The ocean is scary and we should not go in it lmao!
If you haven’t heard of this, I highly recommend checking this out.
I really wish someone would’ve thought “huh, maybe we should interview the female survivors” so we can hear their perspectives after surviving this absolute nightmare. But alas, that’s the pain with historical events, women are sidelined and not paid attention to.

"Realizing that movies set in the 17th and 16th centuries are inaccurate with hangings, as this book and the Salem witch trials have taught me- the trap door wasn’t invented (FUCKED) until the late 1700s, and OF COURSE it was done at Newgate Prison in London."

"“The explanation for this unexpected fertility [of the previously barren coral island that this all happened at] lay…beneath the surface, where the bodies of jeronimus’s victims rested in their shallow graves”. Fucked! Absolutely fucked but kind of beautiful in a fucked way??"
