The British lost to a band of Sulu warriors in this seldom told story of the wit and cunning of a local prince. At school we learned all about “Great” Britain’s fabulous successes all around the world, and how our country of birth came to dominate global trade in the nineteenth century. But it wasn’t always plain sailing and some stories didn’t make it into the school history books.
In the last episode we talked about the privilege cruisers have of being able to visit places few people explore. This week we look at the another main reason for cruising, meeting interesting people and learning their history and culture...
00:00 The story of how two people met on an island, became friends and fell out (no, not us 😄)
01:05 Why the British lost to a local prince called Tetin
06:03 Extreme colours at dusk in a storm
06:50 This desert island is desolate, but there's still plenty of flora and fauna
07:44 Why didn't we know this story? Because it was a British colonial failure!
08:30 Pulau Balambangan - unvisited, unknown and full of hidden treasures
