The Orpheus Disaster

[@Rooxie973]

good video

[@lostcause2993]

Awesome video, but I thought I would point out that in the artist in the credits for the harbor maps being used by the orpheus are listed as unknown when it was most likely drawn by capt thomas wing as he was the one who drew the original as well as the updated maps for that area.

Great video but the volume is atrocious. The music drowns out the narrative and I had to download a volume booster app. Have you listened to your own video mate? I was so looking forward to this.

Bodies from this shipwreck were still washing up on the beach's months later.

Someone should retreive the HUGE Cannons from this great ship! It had many other cannons also

Speak up laddy we kany hear ya , 4:51 I doubt it would of been just the cutting down of that tree that sealed their fate, it was most probably because the Orpheus was a war ship loaded with 189 british soldiers ready to fight the Maori, the natives of new zealand

Does anyone know what the wreck looks like? I cant find any pictures of it

[@BlueRibbonWinner]

That’s because it’s packed with Iron Sand And slowly moving up the channel The Airforce pick up the wreak when doing overflights above the harbour Guns sighted a few years ago closer to Rainbow bay.
