Krakatoa: East of Java

In 1883, Captain Hanson of the 'Betavia Queen' is preparing to embark on a salvage expedition in The Dutch East Indies. His mistress, Laura, knows the location of a ship belonging to her late husband, a shipwreck concealing a cargo of rare pearls. An unexpected erupting volcano on the island of Krakatoa and a state-ordered transport of convicts upset his plans.
