The Hunt For The Royal Charter's Sunken Treasures | Shipwreck Of Gold | Unearthed History

On October 26th, 1859, during the final stretch of its voyage from Melbourne to Liverpool, the Royal Charter met its tragic fate in the midst of one of the most severe storms to ever strike Britain. The toll in terms of lives lost was staggering, and equally staggering was the value of gold carried by the ship, amounting to $130 million. This fortune, initially discovered in Australia, was subsequently lost to the depths of the sea. Presently, Vince Thurkettle, renowned as a world champion in the field of gold hunting, is driven by a mission: to reclaim the long-lost treasure of the Royal Charter.

The joy of finding a ring or anything that you can discover from a shipwreck, then going to the distant relative to show them something that belonged to a family member is also amazing.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Shipwrecks amaze me and I so wish I had become an underwater archioligust.

[redsammy]

they left out the footage of the guys fighting and breaking their water glasses on each other's heads when he found out he cannot have the ring, hahaha

This catastrophe occurred during the Carrington Event of September 1, 1859 which was the worst CME to hit the planet in thousands of years. This solar storm could have possibly triggered the storm that sunk the ship. Too bad humans didn't have better technologies to detect these weather anomalies.

What a wonderful video loved watching every minute of it. Having had 1 ancestor who arrived here in South Australia, then went to the Bendigo goldfields where it is believed he was murdered it was so interesting to watch this. Luckily he had a huge family back in South Australia or I wouldn't be here now, He and his large family came from Thaxted, Essex . Loved this story. Thank you.

[josephtobin]

there is still no proof that this is his ancestors ring. Vince is so charismatic! i hope he finds the proof!

[PaulBateman-lbwt]

Not far from where im from Anglesey too id love to know exactly where to dive...

[Bootz-emqe]

These are dependents of who come to Australia and murdered the rightful owners of the land for gold ... how many died due to these murderers

[todddenio]

It is so sad that the British government is able to claim all of the items that are found. It would have been wonderful if the items that are able to be traced to surviving descendants of those who lost their lives could be returned to the heirs, but there is no chance of the government doing anything like that.

[lindaleehulsey]

Yah, but do the relatives gett a piece of the treasure that's their back too.

The world is made of money, people seek because they cannot mine GOLD like their ancestors.
People are STUCK IN SOCIAL MONITARY limits.

Just like those TENTS, people are dying STILL because of diseases

God gold treasure seekers are living to FULL FILL the dreams of the people who struggled lost at SEA foor their FUTURE heirs & relatives.

These were people who INTENTIONS were led by that VISION.😊
