Thank you for the pronunciation guidance. Our narrator keeps joking he is the butcher of names. Glad you enjoyed the episode and thank you for the kind words.
@@theshipwreckarchives I really hope you don't mind. I really mentioned it as constructive critiscism. I would be more than happy to help with any dubious grammer. I'm rather ancient and have time for these things:-)
check out some of the back story to this wreck. There have been many expeditions to locate the ship, with none, thus far being successful and a couple of frauds involved with salvage expeditions too
Thats very unlikely, as the Aukland Islands are a very isolated part of New Zealand. See the Grafton and Invercauld werecks for further infromation on the Isolation, and why these islans are so dangerous. Due to this and the general danger there, if they friked up, they would likely all die. Further more salvage efforts at the time were much more primative, so without a steam boat of some kind they wouldn't be able to escape the cave's tide. Even then an operation like this wouldn't nessarily be able to be kept secret as this was a major wreck at the time in New Zealand, and instituted major safety changes in the county combined with the aforementioned wrecks. If any one retreaved it already, which i highly doubt, it would have been the New Zealand government as their rutine boats to the isolated islands they contoled to see if anyone was stranded would be the best time to recover that.
It is a matter of some curiosity where the survivor who tried to find the wreck and salvage it only to drown was looking. I could find no record of exactly where he was when he met with his fatal accident. One does have to wonder if he had some sort of idea where the ship had gone down that he was keeping to himself, or if he was just randomly searching the area around the Auckland Islands hoping to rediscover the wreck.
@@theshipwreckarchives I have heard, but can't find the source again, that he and some crew from the ship that went with him went in a small boat into the cave but never left the the cave again. Due to the afformentoned currents. It's logical enough I accepted that, but now I can't find the source who knows.
It's good to see a video on this shipwreck.
Another outstanding presentation! One minor point, forecastle is pronounced folks-all. Thank you for your work on obscure/interesting events.

I assure you we do not mind at all. We always like to know things we can fix rather than continuously making the same mistake.
A fascinating account of survival. Thanks a lot.

I had read about some of the attempts, but I had missed the frauds, I am definitely going to look into that, it seems like fun reading.
How did Bill Day get on?
Still hasn't found it, though I don't think he has completely given up either. It's still out there, somewhere.
Likely that the survivors lied about its location to return at a later point to retrieve the gold.
That is certainly a possibility, though if it was the case, they definitely weren't going to admit it.
