High Sea Slaughter (Part four)

In the final part of our series we discuss bloody murders down in the captain Steward's cabin. Please note this episode was recorded in January 2026, but it is finally here. Enjoy!

If you've enjoyed the series go check out our main source, 'The ship of seven murders: the tragic voyage of the Mary Russell', written by Alannah Hopkin and Kathy Bunney.

Correction: Rab mistakenly refers to Captain Smith when he meant Captain Steward.
