Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 509
The story begins in 1629, when the pride of the Dutch East India Company, the Batavia, is on its maiden voyage en route from Amsterdam to the Dutch East Indies, laden down with the greatest treasure to leave Holland. The magnificent ship is already boiling over with a mutinous plot that is just about to break into the open when, just off the coast of Western Australia, it strikes an unseen reef in the middle of the night.

A fantastic story and history of the importance of naval trade that has historically taken place. Also hold onto your gun, you'll understand what I mean after listening to this one...

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 109
The incredible true story of one of the most extraordinary and inspirational prison breaks in history. Boston, 1869. Members of the Clan na Gael - agitators for an Irish republic - hatch a daring plan to free six Irish political prisoners from the most remote gaol on earth, Fremantle Prison in Western Australia. Under the guise of a whale hunt, Captain Anthony sets sail on the Catalpa, risking his life to rescue the men from the prison, known among the inmates as 'a living tomb'.

A good source of history that will put into perspective the Irish pride and grudge for those who don't really know. The American whaler captain is a favorite...

Historia5 out of 5 stars 247
The name Captain James Cook is one of the most recognisable in Australian history - an almost mythic figure who is often discussed, celebrated, reviled and debated. But who was the real James Cook? This Yorkshire farm boy would go on to become the foremost mariner, scientist, navigator and cartographer of his era, and to personally map a third of the globe. His great voyages of discovery were incredible feats of seamanship and navigation.

A truly great career and Captain and the only thing I don't like about Hawaiians. I bought the hardcover to have in the house before I was done listening to it on audible.

The mutiny on HMS Bounty, in the South Pacific on 28 April 1789, is one of history's truly great stories - a tale of human drama, intrigue and adventure of the highest order - and in the hands of Peter FitzSimons it comes to life as never before. Commissioned by the Royal Navy to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and take them to the West Indies, the Bounty's crew found themselves in a tropical paradise. Five months later, they did not want to leave.

Great story
Revisado: 04-02-22
It was so good and I learned so much history, it is as if it has given me freedom of mind, past the awe of what is new and helped to put in perspective how small the world really is by understanding and pondering the life and career of these naval officers from this book and others. it is as if I were there, thank you.
