Episode 152.2 - "An Innocent Child of Nature": The Globe Mutiny, Part II
Here we conclude the main story of the mutiny on the whaleship Globe where everyone lives happily ever after in a tropical paradise. Or something like that.
*meant to cut in a minor edit for this episode - George Comstock was 15 by the time the Globe sailed, and Samuel was 20
