He was Jeronimus Corneliszoon, a disgraced and bankrupt man with great charisma and dangerously heretical ideas. With the help of a few disgruntled sailors, he hatched a plot to seize the ship and her riches. The mutiny might have succeeded, but in the dark morning hours of June 3, 1629, the Batavia smashed through a coral reef and ran aground on a small chain of islands near Australia. The captain and skipper escaped the wreck, and in a tiny lifeboat they set sail for Java-some 1,500 miles north-to summon help. More than 250 frightened survivors waded ashore, thankful to be alive. Unfortunately, Jeronimus and the mutineers had survived too, and the nightmare was only beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337629528352,"sku":"USED0609807161","price":7.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/618kT2NiEzL_9ec038cf-f30f-448d-8ecd-c533f1bd26ed.jpg?v=1789081551","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/batavias-graveyard-the-true-story-of-the-mad-heretic-who-led-historys-bloodiest-mutiny-0609807161-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
