In 1741, a British warship crashed off the coast of Patagonia. With their ship destroyed, food dwindling, and no help coming, the men of HMS Wager faced the ultimate test of leadership, loyalty, and survival.
What followed was one of the most intense internal breakdowns in naval history — a story of endurance, fractured command, and a desperate attempt to return home from the edge of the world.
This documentary uncovers the real events behind the mutiny on HMS Wager, the same story that inspired The Wager by David Grann.
Learn how:
A converted merchant ship was tasked with navigating Cape Horn
Weeks of storms, sickness, and navigational failure led to disaster
Over 140 survivors were stranded for months with no clear leadership
Conflicts broke out over food, shelter, and the right to command
Two groups of survivors returned separately to England — each telling a different story
Through first-hand accounts and historical records, this film explores how the HMS Wager tragedy reshaped British naval law and left a legacy that still echoes in military ethics today.
If you're drawn to real survival stories, maritime disasters, and forgotten history — this is one you won’t forget.
