Uncovering The Shipwreck Graveyard Of The Great Barrier Reef | Sunken Treasure | Unearthed History

Sunken in the watery graves of the Great Barrier Reef are a hoard of 17th-century Dutch treasure ships. The Dutch were the first Europeans to explore Australia in 1606 but many of their vessels lay wasted at the bottom of the ocean. The narrator and his team search for sunken treasure ships, including one carrying 60,000 ounces of gold, which disappeared in 1853.

Looks amazing. To be able to explore down there.

All these sunken ships are the reason I will never sail upon the ocean blue. Now hunting off shore for treasure is another thing entirely because land is very near.
Thank you for sharing
God bless

Not the dog going on his own exploratory dig😂

Amazing, stumbling quite by chance on a copper divers helmet and as phenomenal luck would have it there was a camera crew present to record the momentous find! Who would have ever thought it?

[ThomasJorgen]

They just found that dive helmet in the muck? 11:38
Finding one from a wreck is a tall tale I've heard many too times.
🤔
The Jacque Cousteau vibes make me think it's planted. Thoughts?

[Glenn-emhv]

That divers helmet is a incredible find!! Kinda strange someone would just leave it in the mud???

[lindaopperthauser]

So fascinating!
I have always been interested in shipwrecks!!

[ericteneyck]

For still having an "air pocket" that cork came out awful easy. Also, there didn't seem to be much excitement when they "found" that diving helmet. Me thinks things may have been a bit staged.

What a smart man! He's very informative.

Sorry when he says at 47:30 that the assination of William of Orange was the cause for the thirty year war, that is totally wrong. It was because Fredrick IV of the Pfalz and his wife Elizabeth Stuart took the Bohemian crown, which rightfully belonged to Emporer Ferdinand II that started the thirty year war. The bit with the Dutch and the Spanish was the eighty years war,

[joefox]

That looks fun 😊
A way to get away from the mess of city life 🎉

Those paintings looked as if drawn very recently. That type of art fades with time, almost all away. Think someone having a go at you lot?😮
