You wont believe what they found on this shipwreck!

Eventually, in 1768, he published an account of his experiences that enjoyed some success with the reading public. Lord Byron used his grandfather’s account as inspiration for the shipwreck section of Don Juan, but the cannibalism in that section was drawn from other shipwreck narratives and not the story of the loss of the Wager. After a dispute with the captain about the seaworthiness of his ship, Selkirk had asked to be put ashore on an island in the Juan Fernández group in the Pacific Ocean on South America in 1704. Selkirk did at least have the satisfaction of learning that the ship he had left did later sink, and that only the captain and a few other men had survived. The fact that Selkirk was not shipwrecked has led some scholars to suggest the authors of various contemporary shipwreck narratives as possible alternative inspirations for Defoe’s castaway. Defoe’s fictional work Robinson Crusoe is regarded by many as the first English novel.
Be sure to avoid the “fast ferries” and don’t take any boats at night. You could fly direct from Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia, but I know some people express trepidation about flying an Indonesian airline. If you don’t want to fly, you can take a series of buses and ferries across Bali, then Lombok, then Sumbawa, then to Labuanbajo on the island of Flores.

It was 282ft in length, 34ft 8in (10.5m) in breadth and 19ft (5.8m) in depth with a gross tonnage of 1,809 and belonged to the Wilson family business. The Virago is still listed as missing on Lloyd's Register of Ships - a marine classification society - which said the vessel was built in Hull in 1871. The ship was taking machinery from England to Russia when it was lost in the Channel. "I think it should be a Tongan team behind it all — a Tongan director, a Tongan scriptwriter, a Tongan cast and it has to be told in Tongan," Ms Gesa-Fatefehi said. "It brings out determination, justice, love, compassion. All those things tied together, unites these kids and all of us," he said.
Why the ships ended up so far apart, which one went down first, and why and how the ships sank are questions archaeologists hope to answer. It was one of the best equipped and best prepared expeditions ever to leave Britain’s shores. Silt covers much of the wreck's interior, sealing out oxygen and helping preserve artifacts hidden beneath. If the shipwreck had ended tragically, I would be carrying around quite a bit of guilt over my resulting success. This is good advice for wherever you go, but it’s especially important on boats. TripAdvisor and Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree are good places to search.

Between 1851 and 2017, The New York Times had published just under 60,000 print issues, containing about 3.5 million pages and 15 million articles. For over a century, the issue number appearing at the top of the front page was off by 500; the February 6, 1898 edition was correctly marked as issue 14,499, but the following day's newspaper was numbered as 15,000. The error was not noticed until late 1999, and was corrected on January 1, 2000. Tweed had offered The New York Times five million dollars to not publish the story. With the Endurance immobilized, its crew passed the time however they could—including ice-floe soccer. Endurance had left South Georgia for Antarctica on  December 5, 1914, carrying 27 men (plus one stowaway, who became the ship’s steward), 69 dogs, and a tomcat erroneously dubbed Mrs. Chippy.
According to Captain Bill Wichrowski, McGlashan was "the epitome of a true crabber." A star of the second and third seasons of the show and the captain of the Maverick, Blake Painter was found in his Clatsop County, Oregon, home on May 25, 2018, several days after he died of what appeared to be a drug overdose. Authorities were called to the house when one of Painter's friends grew concerned about him and, having driven to Painter's house to check on him, saw a body on the kitchen floor. When police entered the home, they were greeted with the terrible sorts of odors you would expect. Near Painter's body lay drug paraphernalia, including a pipe and a metal mint tin holding either heroin or meth, as well as prescription pills.

The technology used to build the Antikythera mechanism predates similar technology by at least 1,400 years. X-ray analysis has allowed archaeologists to look through the layers of corrosion to its 3,500-word inscription, which basically confirms the device's purpose as a teaching tool and status symbol. If there's one sort of story that we humans can almost universally get behind, it's pirates. Two hundred years ago, people also liked stories about damsels in distress being captured by pirates, though today we mostly prefer to watch badass damsels butt-kick their way out of distress. Charles Goodridge was with one of two sealing gangs landed on islands of the Crozet group in February 1821.
The timbers were recovered safely and intact, and the team felt a palpable sense of relief. The archaeologists also agreed that the timbers were at risk of being swept out to sea, but extracting 3 Shipwreck Stories You Won't Believe them from the sea cave would be complicated and dangerous. They would have only about 90 minutes to document and remove the timbers before the tide would rise and trap them.

Like paleontology in the 1990s, archeology has become popular, and media stories are sometimes—as they should—published before scholarly papers or books. In the 1990s, Dick Steffy argued for a standardization of the description of ships and boats in vain . All shipwreck publications should have a good site plan, timber drawings and scantlings, and a sound characterization of each component and its cultural parallels . Stories are, however, the most interesting part of shipwreck archeology.
RMS Titanic Inc. won several of these legal skirmishes, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia awarded the company salvor-in-possession status and exclusive rights over any items salvaged from the  Titanic on June 4, 1994, according to NOAA. However, it took Ballard only eight days to find the Titanic's wreckage because he said he knew to follow debris, a strategy that helped him find the Scorpion submarine. On Sept. 1, 1985, under more than 12,400 feet of water, one of the Titanic's boilers was identified, confirming the wreck had been found, according to the Woods Hole website. Younger kids would probably need to hear the whole story at the same time as the kids are stranded and you wouldn't want your Kindergartner worried about that for a few days.
