Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications! - From the world's first stock market, to the voyage of Magellan to the trade that sent Manhattan to the English, the Banda Islands have made an imprint on everything- even though they're just a few tiny rocks in the far reaches of the Pacific. And they're still there, so entirely forgotten that cannons still lie in the streets where they were left behind, hundreds of years ago. For five days, we're on the trip of a lifetime, sailing in a rebuilt spice trading vessel to the Banda Islands. In this documentary we explore the four primary nutmeg-growing islands, tour the abandoned forts and old plantations and meet the last remaining Perkenier- a direct descendant of the first nutmeg farmer who arrived from the Netherlands in 1621. - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going. http://www.patreon.com/OTRontheroad Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offtherails/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D - 0:00 - Introduction 1:16 - Spice 3:26 - The Journey Begins 7:43 - The Search for the East Indies 10:10 - Sunrise in the Bandas 13:03 - Pulau Rhun 18:00 - Nutmeg and Mace 20:19 - Nathaniel 23:57 - Prana 26:04 - Pulau Ai 28:45 - The First Stock Market 32:05 - Perkens 36:02 - Just a Spice 40:20 - Life On the Water 43:53 - Banda Neira 46:35 - The Orang Kaya 50:07 - May 8, 1621 57:12 - Aftermath 1:01:47 - The Wrath of the Gods 1:05:01 - The Spy 1:09:43 - After the Monopoly 1:13:12 - The Last Perkenier 1:17:10 - Legacy and Perspective 1:20:54 - The van den Broucke Massacre 1:30:44 - Recovery 1:33:46 - The Toll 1:35:26 - Hope 1:38:56 - Pulau Nailaka 1:41:31 - The People of the Bandas 1:46:31 - A Proper Send-Off 1:48:17 - Credits 1:48:47 - An OTR Announcement - YouTube Credits: https://youtu.be/bk-FfUeGOf8?si=AlcNDA3Mwwfeqb4d https://youtu.be/70WME_-tFSQ?si=xnkaa9HS9btKG1h5 https://youtu.be/jnW2kN8oOtI?si=YmTgn8QD83gwUbLm https://youtu.be/E6J9H_4rH-g?si=xo7rOOUiuZQTrpFK https://youtu.be/SO5vxr6a3vo?si=fNBlbBemUAdujXbK https://youtu.be/LHrVQjyMYJE?si=DLHux8ADOfsh5sOz https://youtu.be/hoJHvYm2mXY?si=pjMRwZWuhrIZt-7u https://youtu.be/QZmgJ4Y6cFE?si=SvJ0_csHtUjQNxnn https://youtu.be/ljXF-3AJiw8?si=LRGXZEqUCElXI5BZ https://youtu.be/xOkgtLt02nE?si=QEEWurv8625IaG8E https://youtu.be/vN_Uc80BXes?si=4JT2em6Z0EqvhqlL https://youtu.be/SF5Y2JovNPQ?si=oDl0yfeAgafbQ-LE https://youtu.be/eJdktQ97rZ8?si=oPGtK3VFGQ2hnceX https://youtu.be/8RtVIKnjbFY?si=SKnlpL2Y2UTx7HXE
