About Us

History is riddled with wacky high jinks, inspiring moments, and bittersweet victories, most of which aren’t taught in school.

That’s why we’re here!

Historian Ana Rosa and history enthusiast Luca explore the long and epic history of expedition catastrophes, maritime mysteries, and everything in between.

With a few spooks thrown in and a good dash of tragedy, of course.
