Stuff You Missed in History Class — Behind the Scenes Minis: The Grisly Shipwreck

Host: Holly Frey & Tracy V. Wilson
Date: September 26, 2025

Overview

This behind-the-scenes minisode finds hosts Holly and Tracy reflecting on their recent main episode about the grisly shipwreck of the Medusa, the harrowing survivor stories, and the legacy of Theodore Géricault’s painting "The Raft of the Medusa." They discuss the irresistible draw of tragic shipwreck narratives, the complexities of survivor testimonies, the continuing relevance of historical disasters, Géricault’s abolitionist messaging, and some darkly memorable details about the aftermath for those involved. The tone is conversational, thoughtful, and occasionally wry as they dissect the enduring fascination and trauma of the Medusa catastrophe.

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Grisly Shipwreck — Why It Fascinates Us

• Holly and Tracy acknowledge the popularity of shipwreck episodes, while noting this one was unusually “gruesome” and “rough.”
  • “We talked about shipwrecks, which are often people's favorite stories, although I don't know how much they'd love this one. It's a particularly gruesome one.” — Holly (02:58)
• They explore the human inclination toward morbid curiosity, comparing Medusa-era fascination to modern fixations like the Titan submersible disaster.
  • “When the submersible imploded... everybody wanted all the details. I feel like this, if the Medusa had happened now, similarly would have been, like, a thing that everybody was fixated on.” — Holly (03:39–04:05)

2. Survivor Accounts: Truth and Bias

• The hosts discuss the wealth of survivor narratives and the conflicting versions of events, all colored by trauma and bias.
  • “All of these accounts have been questioned in terms of the bias of the narrative. Like, there are even people who have accused Koriar and Savigny of making the raft sound worse than it was, even though everyone found these men, skin and bones, like an absolute mess when they finally were rescued.” — Tracy (04:44)
• The role of Charlotte Picard’s account is highlighted as a different point of view—validating the experiences of the crew.
  • “Her [Charlotte Picard’s] account really does validate the experience of, like, the crew member's account... from a very different point of view.” — Tracy (05:58)

3. Warnings Unheeded & Parallels to Modern Times

• Discussion of how ship captain Chaumareys ignored repeated warnings from experienced sailors, leading to catastrophe.
  • “There were so many people saying to Chamore, yo, we're in trouble. Like, I am a lifelong sailor. I have been on a lot of ships. I'm telling you right now, we're in trouble. And him going, no, we're not... a bit of a gut punch at times reading some of those accounts.” — Holly & Tracy (07:10–07:44)
• Holly relates this to experiences in modern workplaces where warnings go unheard, though with less dire consequences.
  • “I have 1000% had many occasions where there was a decision being made... and that was just not listened to or heard.” — Holly (08:00)

4. The Aftermath: Survival, Trauma, and Rescue

• After rescue, survivors faced overcrowded, dangerous conditions aboard the Argus—including a near-fatal fire.
  • “Even after the raft group was rescued and they were put aboard the Argus... there was actually a fire on board that threatened their lives. They mention in the crew account, like, so we kind of got saved twice.” — Tracy (08:36–09:11)
• The emotional toll and trauma of resorting to cannibalism was underscored:
  • “There's a really, really upsetting passage where they talk about having to survive off of the body of a person who had been holding their hands, like, two days earlier. And it's just so upsetting.” — Tracy (10:36)

5. Géricault’s Painting and Abolitionist Message

• Géricault’s process was extremely detailed—he interviewed survivors, studied the raft, and altered details for symbolic reasons.
  • “He made a very deliberate choice... in the painting Raft of the Medusa, there are three black men on the raft. There was only one black man on the raft. And that has long been perceived as part of his effort to draw attention to the need for abolition.” — Tracy (14:47)
• Géricault planned but did not complete a further work on the slave trade, deepening the abolitionist context.

6. Personal Stories in the Wake of Tragedy

• Notable, poignant, and sometimes odd details about the survivors’ later lives:
  • Koriar’s post-trauma behavior and grief: after his wife died, he kept a mannequin dressed in her clothes to feel close to her.
    • “He did this very weird thing after his wife died where he had, like, a dress mannequin... cause he just wanted to feel like she was close to him.” — Tracy (17:03)
  • The hosts reflect on how trauma permanently altered survivors’ lives, with little contemporary understanding or support for their mental health.

7. Enduring Impact of the Case & the Art

• Holly emphasizes the power of seeing Géricault’s “Raft of the Medusa” in person at the Louvre, describing it as “striking and so moving.”
  • “If you get a chance to go to the Louvre and you see this piece of art, it will rock you back. It is so striking and so moving.” — Holly (19:31)
• Both hosts express continued fascination, with Holly noting she’ll “probably keep reading more things about it, because I can't stop, because I'm fascinated.” (19:28)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Morbid Fascination:
  “I mean, I understand, like, becoming kind of morbidly fixated on something like this.” — Holly (03:30)

• On the Power of Géricault’s Art:
  “If you get a chance to go to the Louvre and you see this piece of art, it will rock you back. It is so striking and so moving.” — Tracy (19:31)

• On Survivor Trauma:
  “These people that survive this experience, like... trauma that will change your brain.” — Holly (18:37)

• On Warnings Ignored:
  “There were so many people saying to Chamore, yo, we're in trouble... and him going, no, we're not.” — Tracy (07:10–07:24)

• On Survivor Accounts’ Reliability:
  “All of these accounts have been questioned in terms of the bias of the narrative...” — Tracy (04:44)

And I'm Tracy V. Wilson.

We talked about shipwrecks, which are often people's favorite stories, although I don't know.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

How much they'd love this one.

[Holly Frey]

It's a particularly gruesome one.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

It's grisly, it's rough.

[Holly Frey]

And, I mean, I cut for time.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

A lot of grisly things. So. Yeah.

[Holly Frey]

And then we talked about, you know.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

The aftermath of that shipwreck and Theodore Gericault, whose work I am in love with, anyway, and got to talk about.

[Holly Frey]

Him and his own little grisly fascination.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

With this whole thing. Yeah.

[Holly Frey]

Which is a little bit yucky.

Well, I. I mean, I understand, like, becoming kind of morbidly fixated on something like this.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Yeah.

[Holly Frey]

Like, I'm sort of thinking about how when the submersible imploded. Yeah.

Everybody wanted all the details.

Everyone wanted all the details. And then when the hearings happened about the implosion of the submersible, the Titan. Is that what it was called? Like, the hearings happened and, like, everyone wanted all the details from the hearings. Not everyone, obviously, but you know what I mean? And, like.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Yeah.

[Holly Frey]

Then, you know, documentaries about it, people. I feel like this, if the Medusa had happened now similarly would have been, like, a thing that everybody was fixated on trying to get on the tail of, for sure.

I mean, it's really interesting, too, because.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

We do have very detailed survivor accounts.

[Holly Frey]

Right.

We didn't explicitly mention it in the episode, but we did talk about there.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Being counter accounts and whatnot and people trying to put forth their own version of events.

[Holly Frey]

But, like, all of these accounts have.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Been questioned in terms of the bias of the narrative. Like, there are even people who have accused Koriar and Savigny of making the raft sound worse than it was, even though everyone found these men, skin and bones, like, an absolute mess when they finally were rescued. Like, there was no doubting that they had been through this terrible ordeal. But there are still people that question the accuracy of their version of events.

[Holly Frey]

Yeah. Yeah. I was struck by just the kid falling overboard near the beginning and how people still fall off ships today and can be really hard to find people because ships move fast. If you're ever on a ship, you see somebody fall overboard, you need to point at them and look at them and yell to someone else that someone has gone over. Like, don't take your eyes off them.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Yeah. Don't break your visual line if you.

[Holly Frey]

Can avoid it, because it's really hard to find people in the ocean. So, like, it doesn't surprise Me at all. That they couldn't find them and they had to give up.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Yeah, me either. It's just heartbreaking, though, like, the many things that happen on this whole thing. The one thing that is, I think, really compelling about the various survivor accounts, right? Like Charlotte Picard's account, which she wrote a little bit later down the road. She didn't write it right after they were rescued because she was still quite young then, really does validate the experience of, like, the crew member's account. And it's good because it's from a.

[Holly Frey]

Very different point of view.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

You know what I mean? It's like one of the wealthier families that was gonna be part of this, like, new. You know, poorly intended, but, you know, this new colony set up for her.

[Holly Frey]

To be like, oh, yes, we all.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Recognize that Chaumerray was, like, dicey as hell, was very good. It made it seem not just like people that were maybe bristling against command or, you know, not right. Like, for her to also be like.

[Holly Frey]

He trusted this guy that we all knew was a crazy loser.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Like, we knew he did not have any kind of actual information or expertise, but he trusted him, even though we all were like, what are you doing? Yeah, that's the other thing that really, really gets me in this. And we mentioned it a little bit.

[Holly Frey]

But there were so many people saying.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

To Chamore, yo, we're in trouble. Like, I am a, you know, lifelong sailor. I have been on a lot of ships. I'm telling you right now, we're in trouble. And him going, no, we're not. My friend Rishvoor says, fine. We're not. It's fine. I'm like, you know, in a world where people are disregarding experts in things in favor of.

[Holly Frey]

Of their own opinions being made into.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

What they think is fact, it was a little. A bit of a gut punch at times reading some of those accounts.

[Holly Frey]

I also feel like I've obviously never been in a situation like this where we were on a ship with people's lives in our hands at all.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Right.

[Holly Frey]

My jobs have always been way more inconsequential sitting in a chair in terms of life and limb, but I have 1000% had many occasions where there was a decision being made or a change being contemplated. And a lot of people have been like, hey, this is a bad idea, and here's why. And that was like, just not listened to or heard.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Yeah, yeah, it stinks. One thing that I did not include.

[Holly Frey]

That is also harrowing.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Even after the raft group was rescued and they were put aboard the Argus.

[Holly Frey]

The Argus was still carrying people from.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

The boats, the other lifeboats.

[Holly Frey]

So it was quite crowded. And some of them had to sleep in, like, these makeshift quarters that were.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Like, down in the, you know, lower parts of the ship.

[Holly Frey]

There was actually a fire on board.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

That threatened their lives. And, like, they mention in the crew account, like, so we kind of got.

[Holly Frey]

Saved twice because some of their crew.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Was on it and, like, put out.

[Holly Frey]

The fires, but they were literally not.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Put in, like, cushy. Oh, my gosh. You've been through so much. Like, let's make sure you're taking care of conditions. It was literally, like, there's a corner.

[Holly Frey]

Over there by the boiler. You could probably curl up over there if you want.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Like, these poor men. I know. It's interesting. That book that we mentioned by Jonathan Miles, if you want an in depth, dig in on that. I was kind of using that to triangulate, like, I was going off a lot of the Corriere and Sevigny and the Charlotte Picard accounts. And then I would triangulate with that and be like, is he interpreting this the same way I am? So that I would, like, kind of get, like, the whole thing with guns versus cannons. That book says it's cannons that they were trying to shoot off, and it didn't have powder, but I don't. So that was one of the things that I was looking at.

[Holly Frey]

But one of the.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

The big things that he points out.

[Holly Frey]

Is that there had been, prior to.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

This, instances of shipwrecks or similarly harrowing circumstances where people had turned to cannibalism to survive.

[Holly Frey]

And how there was, like, this precedent.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

That, like, obviously that's not great, but people give a little bit of grace understanding the situation. But I think that, too, added this whole other layer of, like, grim fascination to the whole thing.

[Holly Frey]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

And even in the Korior and Sevigny account, there's a really, really upsetting passage where they talk about having to survive off of the body of a person who had been holding their hands, like, two days earlier. And it's just so upsetting.

[Holly Frey]

Yeah.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Like, that he was one of their crewmates that was like, we're gonna get through this. We're gonna. You know, that they were all trying to. And that that didn't work out.

It is so fun to drive.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

The pickup is incredible.

[Holly Frey]

It's super agile and it is easy to maintain. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail] there's an interesting story here.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

About Jericho and abolition that I also didn't get in to because he was an abolitionist. All right.

[Holly Frey]

And what's very interesting is his choice, because he did study this whole case.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

So in depth, as we noted, he talked to the survivors, he made diagrams of the raft, so he understood what he needed to paint.

[Holly Frey]

But he made a very deliberate choice.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

In changing up the details of what went on when he created his painting, which is that in the painting Raft of the Medusa, there are three black men on the raft. There was only one black man on the raft. And that has long been perceived as part of his effort to draw attention to the need for abolition. And as we said, he was planning to do a big, a large scale painting, possibly as big as this one, about the slave trade. So that was kind of an interesting, interesting thing.

[Holly Frey]

And he had actually hired a model.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

I didn't write it down, and I don't remember where he was from, but he hired a black man to model for him, who is the model of two of the people on the boat. But, like, they're at different angles, so it doesn't look like a repeat person. But that was kind of interesting. Just an interesting detail about him. Yeah. There's another interesting thing about his son. Okay. So he and Alexandrine had this son that was surrendered as unknown parents. But of course, people knew.

[Holly Frey]

And when Jericho and some people had clearly kept up with what was going.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

On with that boy, because when Jericho knew that he was dying, he made his will. And he made his will so that his father, who was still alive, would inherit everything. But his father in turn made a new will of his own where everything that Jericho had willed him went to that boy.

[Holly Frey]

Oh.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

So that even though there had been a disconnect, he still got his father's legacy, which is kind of cool.

[Holly Frey]

Yeah, it's a cool little trick.

There is a very sad detail about.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Koriard that was also fascinating to me. Okay. As we said seven ye, it seemed like wanted to not even though he was a participant in the multiple editions of the book that kept being published year after year after year, but he just was not as, like he did not get as politically active as Koryard and whatnot. So I feel like I don't have as much information about what his life turned out to be. But apparently Bourriard had gotten married, clearly adored his wife. But he did this very weird thing after his wife died where he had, like, a dress mannequin that he kept in his room, and he changed her clothes, like, with his wife's clothes all the time. Okay. Cause he just wanted to feel like she was close to him.

[Holly Frey]

Yeah.

And it's so sort of odd and.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

A little like from a Hitchcock film and also sort of endearing in a strange way.

[Holly Frey]

Well, based on the gruesomeness of the episode, when you started describing this, I took it to a very different place.

You were way more worried that it.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Was going to be a different thing. Yeah.

[Holly Frey]

No, it was benign in that regard.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

It hurts no one when you said clothes.

[Holly Frey]

I was relieved.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

This is not the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover in any kind of way. Yeah. Yeah. It's so sweet and sad and a little creepy, but also, I can understand it. I don't know. It just. He did not have an easy life.

[Holly Frey]

And, like, there was. I mean, he got called in front.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Of the court so many times for, you know, his treasonous printings. Like, his life was not easy.

[Holly Frey]

And he clearly. I mean, that's the thing that isn't.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Talked about much in any of these.

[Holly Frey]

Even though it's discussed in some ways, but not at the depth that we would understand it today.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

These people that survive this experience, like.

[Holly Frey]

Trauma that will change your brain.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

And, like, there isn't a ton of discussion about their mental condition and their mental health in the years that follow. But that's where I really like that whole three years in prison, and then you get to go live your life in the country. I'm like, cool, cool, cool.

[Holly Frey]

There are other people that are never.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Gonna outlive, like, the hell you put them through.

[Holly Frey]

Right.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Sometimes inept people don't actually get as punished as they should be, which is frustrating to all of us. Anyway, I'm fascinated by this case, and we'll probably keep reading more things about it, because I can't stop, because I'm fascinated.

[Holly Frey]

And also the art. And I will say, if you get.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

A chance to go to the Louvre and you see this piece of art.

[Holly Frey]

It will rock you back.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

It is so striking and so moving.

[Holly Frey]

And also just huge.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

Listen, I am a girl who loves huge art. I love it. And so this is very much up my alley. Anyway, I remember studying this in high school and being like, what is that? Like, I immediately was obsessed with it in my art classes. So I'm glad I got a chance to talk about it because it's very cool, it's very good. And then you find out why it's so good and it's like, oh, it's still really good. So now I want to go back to Paris just to see it again because it's been a minute. That's what's up. May we never live through such harrowing moments. That's a good wish we all have. Goodness. Yeah. If you are coming up on your weekend where you have time off, I hope that quite the opposite happens. That you have delightful moments and you have time of joy and laughter and rest and relaxation and hopefully fun with your friends or whoever's close to you. And that you pet a kitty, if that's your thing, and that you eat delicious stuff. Maybe have some cake. Cake is delicious.

[Holly Frey]

If it's not your weekend coming up.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

I bet you could still sneak a sneak a piece of cake in there.

[Holly Frey]

Or whatever it is that you eat.

[Tracy V. Wilson]

That makes you feel very happy and that delights your palate. We will be right back here tomorrow with a classic episode and then on Monday we will have something brand new.
