Krakatoa: East of Java

In 1883, ship captain Hanson plans a shipwreck salvage mission in The Dutch East Indies to retrieve a cargo of pearls but an unexpected volcano eruption and a state-ordered transport of convicts upset his plans.

In the late 19th century, the Dutch East Indies is the setting for a salvage expedition led by Capt. Hanson on the "Batavia Queen". The ship's cargo includes a rare pearl treasure hidden on a sunken ship belonging to Laura's late husband. The crew is equipped with a diver and a diving bell to retrieve the treasure. However, the plans are disrupted when a government agent forces Hanson to accept a group of convicts on board, making the journey even more treacherous.
