Real crimes. Real stories. Real evidence.
Join us for the latest instalment of Crime Club on Thursday 22 May, a chance to discover more about infamous crime cases from history. Free drink included!
This Crime Club is filled with tales of struggle, endurance, and moral conflict, as we dive deep into these extraordinary accounts of survival, mystery, and intrigue. What secrets lie beneath these forgotten stories? Were these survivors truly innocent, or did the dark side of humanity reveal itself in the most extreme circumstances?
Step back in time to the 18th century, an age of high-seas adventure, perilous voyages, and uncharted territories. Travelling the globe by ship was a dangerous endeavour, especially for those from Nottingham, whose journeys took them to distant lands and remote shores. But these weren't mere stories of survival.
In some cases, the inhabitants of Nottingham found themselves castaway, stranded on islands far from home. How did they manage to survive? Were their actions heroic, or did necessity push them to commit crimes of desperation, such as murder and even cannibalism, just to make it back alive?
