Abstract:

Maritime archaeologists, using forensic science and cutting edge technology, uncover the truth of some of Australia's most notorious shipwrecks including investigating human remains from the Batavia Mutiny of 1629, finding one of the last shipwrecks of

the Japanese WWII Fleet in Truk Lagoon (now Chuuk) and investigating lost WWII flying boats off Broome carrying Dutch evacuees from Indonesia destroyed by the Japanese in WWII.
