The Auckland Island Shipwrecks
from A Popular History of Unpopular Things · host Kelli Beard
Join Kelli as she tells the story of two shipwrecks that took place on Auckland Island in 1864, at the same time, though neither knew the other was there. One wreck tells the tale of a group that banded together in the face of adversity and used their creativity and strength to survive. The other wreck is more like an adult version of Lord of the Flies; the situation quickly devolved into chaos, with most survivors dying of starvation. Let's find out how and why two shipwrecks, on opposite sides of the same island, had such vastly different outcomes.Sources referenced:Island of the Lost by Joan DruettIntro and Outro music credit: NedricWant to start your own podcast?Click this link to get set up with Buzzsprout and you'll get a $20 credit to sign up!Support the showIntro and Outro music credit: Nedric | Yello KakeFollow me on Instagram! @beardhistoryIf you want to support the show, donate to the cause at Buy Me a Coffee
