Summary
Strange Objects: A Tale of Shipwreck, Relics, and Disappearance
On June 4, 1629, the Dutch vessel Batavia met its fate, striking uncharted rocks off the West Australian coast. In the aftermath, over 120 lives were brutally cut short – not by the sea, but by the hands of fellow survivors, Wouter Loos and Jan Pelgrom.
Centuries later, Steven Messenger unearths gruesome relics from the infamous wreck. But four months after the discovery, he vanishes without a trace.
