382 - The Frederick Escape: The Ship that Never Was

The Macquarie Harbour Penal Station was known as an inescapable hell on earth, but on the eve of its closure a group of 10 men had an audacious plan to flee not only the penal colony, but the British Empire entirely. This is a wild story, enjoy!


This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 03:28 and ends around 01:58 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
