True Story Of Australia's Shipwreck: Maritime Mysteries
Year: 2021 Language: english Author: Earl Smolder Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 347 Description: Since the middle of the 19th Century a mysterious shipwreck located somewhere within Stradbroke Island’s vast and impenetrable Eighteen Mile Swamp, in the South East corner of Queensland, has been the focus of much speculation and controversy. In the 19th century a small number of people, mostly Aborigines (from both of the Stradbroke Island tribes) and a few white men (mostly cattlemen, timber getters and sailors) knew where the ship was located. Invariably, for various and different reasons, the people who knew the wreck’s location kept it a close secret. The few Europeans who had somehow stumbled onto its location kept this knowledge to themselves while they plundered the wreck for timber or brass and copper fittings; for the Aboriginal inhabitants many stories seem to indicate the wreck was originally a taboo place where only certain elders were permitted to go.
