The northern part of the Great Barrier
Reef is strewn with the remains of many old sailing ships that came to grief
when trying to pass through the reef into the Torres Strait.
The survivors had a terrible time
running the gauntlet of headhunters, and many castaways were slaughtered.
Ben Cropp leads an expedition in
search of the wreck of the Pandora, Australia’s most historic shipwreck of
great archaeological importance. The
Pandora had captured some of the mutineers of the Bounty, and was returning
them to England for trial.
