*Unlocked* Dead Reckoning #1
Episode description
The first episode in the Dead Reckoning bonus series deals with the wreck of the Nottingham Galley in 1710 on the rocks at Boon Island off the coast of Maine. Stranded for weeks with no provisions, no way to build a fire, and no viable chance of escape, the men grew desperate.
So desperate, in fact, that the men of the Nottingham Galley turned to the bleakest of last resorts - cannibalism.
