Survivors of Stefano
50min -
The Shipwreck Hunters head to the far reaches of the largest fringing reef on the planet in search of the lost pieces of a shipwreck puzzle. Stefano is a little-known but epic tale of disaster and survival, all in one of the most remote places on Earth. It involves a storm, a jagged coral reef, a shipwreck, starvation, cannibalism and an against all odds survival for two fortunate sailors saved by Indigenous people of the region. Together with maritime archaeologists from the Western Australian Museum, the Shipwreck Hunters map the changes to the known wreck site while trying to locate any artifacts that may help identify the Stefano. Intrigued by the story of survival and wanting to understand what it would take to make it through such an ordeal, the team meet with First Nations elders who guide them across the expanses of the wild coastal area, in an experience they will never forget.
