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.

[@gittarollke3102]

Was the newfound relative given the option to buy the little ring?

[@tomcarson8854]

Thanks so much for sharing your treasure! The Southern California high desert sends love!

Heaven's streets are paved with gold.

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

Truly 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 ?"

Great video ❤

[@vicnurse5]

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.

🐨

[@redsammy7789]

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

[@user-tb7kd7op2q]

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.

[@joechiodi5529]

If something like that hit today, it would wipe out the planet. Mass hysteria, riots, looting, food shortages, gas shortages, ect ect…

[@noddie-tm1un]

I really enjoyed watching this show I guess up in the ACT yet I have heated of a acco.erdation place on melbern called Fenwick house this family was quite welthy back in the day I find it truly amazing that the Fenwick name has yet again come up in another story from history this family must have done quite well throughout the goldfish times and yet there would be so much more that has not been Toled I wonder what else is to come out in the Future thankyou for creating such a wonderfully story may youall have many adventures to come and just Rembert to KEEP THE DREAMS ALIVE. !!!!

[@Koolarrow1987]

Minus the ending event of sinking! Please

[@user-pp7vt4ss7x]

wow !

[@Koolarrow1987]

The national Park Services in the United States of America is requiring the entire story of this documentary with complete Castles as a inventory of your history please.

[@Feiy16]

It's definitely not a child's ring. My ring finger is 3¼ and that ring looks slightly larger than my wedding band, so possibly a size 4.

[@Koolarrow1987]

A tourist event of seasonal studies!

If he was mauled , then he was raising them to fight. Pit Bulls are the best pets and family dogs. If they maul they were being taught that.

[@Koolarrow1987]

Tell the head council member to create vessels and all to recreate the complete passage of the historical studies!

[@offgridselfteliant]

Two types of treasure hunters! Those interested in archeological history! And those that are just greedy bastards!

[@teriknauer-schafer]

Probably several people who successfully returned from the dream of riches purchased lands to homestead.

[@wolfgangricky]

Quite the Needle in the Haystack story, that made me jerk a tear. Ty for sharing

[@Ambassador_Gkar]

What does it take to be a ship's captain: unwarranted levels of over-confidence, & insane levels of stupidity! He didn't even know the tides of the route into Liverpool 🤨 Just ask the captains of this ship, & the Titanic, just to name two. And innocents pay for it, with their lives. In finishing, a great tale of tragedy, & Humanitarianism. Cheers.

Hmm putting in the thumbnail a ship that looks more like 17th century and then it is about a ship from the 1850s.......yeah why not not the Black Pearl from Pirats of the Carabean?

[@debimckeighan8932]

What is the burning all about?

[@neuroadvancementnextlevelp461]

Makes me wonder about the descendants his family stole it from.

[@curbwhiz2010]

Lol. He said first class were provided 40 cubic feet... that's approximately a coffin and a half... hopefully he meant square feet...

[@Teeveepicksures]

even then that's still only about the size of a jail cell

[@curbwhiz2010]

@@Teeveepicksures40 cubic feet is not even close to a jail cell man. It's actually closer to a phone booth.

[@Teeveepicksures]

@@curbwhiz2010 re-read my comment. 40 square feet is a jail cell.

[@l-b284]

but it was private!

[@c.fraizer6966]

Soooo…. Did you give him the ring ?

[@user-gb6zz6jh4q]

God intend for man to have money of any kind life is based on our individual needs and God will provide that

[@jefferyedwards5003]

Someone's math is horrendous! That ship could not carry 82 MILLION pounds of gold in addition to everything else. That is 41,000 TONS! Sounds like the math of a politician trying to balance his budget.

[@jefferyedwards5003]

James Russell had 7 MILLION POUNDS all by himself!!!???? Who edited this? You checked the people making these comments.

[@liamoshea9383]

if they were identified in part by their jewelry, wouldn't it mean the ring/s the children had were with her.

[@l-b284]

um, that's what I was thinking...then again it could have been something she wasn't wearing but was in a jewelry box. Maybe it wasn't common for little girls to wear rings, and it was known that this family was into jewelry...? The size of the ring, also, wasn't necessarily a child's; by today's standards, maybe, but back then women were smaller. I have my great grandmother's engagement ring, and it doesn't fit past my 2nd knuckle of my pinkie, so it could have also been a petite woman's ring (my great grandmother was 4'10").

[@jamessnow226]

Exactly. That whole relative thing was just a bit of TV drama. Poor old guy probably wasn't even told they were using him.

[@darrelld.paveyjr.1477]

Are these coins for sale? I would like to purchase 5. Not interested in pristine graded types. These are for a costume coin purse at renaissance fair far traveler. Much better than internet purchased fakes!!

[@Bootz-em2qe]

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

[@Redeye5978]

Mother nature had a different plan and it didn't matter if you payed 16 ginny or 75 steerage or first class they all ended up on the bottom

If it wasn’t based in money. it would be trade. Either way an exchange in goods.

This is something I have also thought of

A world based on…. DEEZ NUTS!!!!bahahhahahahha

[@soulesslemming]

I’d never buy that

[@johnwhitaker545]

So… people can go broke diving for treasure and whenever they do manage to find something it’s not theirs to keep because it belongs to the king or queen? That’s horseshit

Then there wouldn't be world wide hunger

[@lindaleehulsey3167]

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.😊
