Uncovering The Shipwreck Graveyard Of The Great Barrier Reef | Sunken Treasure | Unearthed History
Sunken in the watery graves of the Great Barrier Reef are a hoard of 17th-century Dutch treasure ships. The Dutch were the first Europeans to explore Australia in 1606 but many of their vessels lay wasted at the bottom of the ocean. The narrator and his team search for sunken treasure ships, including one carrying 60,000 ounces of gold, which disappeared in 1853.

Great to see another ship besides Titanic
As shallow as the supposed fatima is they probably recovered the gold.

SUNKEN TREASURE DOCUMENTARY.
Interesting old guy and young scantily dressed mates.

Let’s go, let’s go treasure and adventure🎉🇺🇸💕👵✌️🌺🌎
I knew it was bs when they pulled out the dive helmet.
Can’t believe he drank that liquor! @ 14:44
loot the wrecks, never mind making any record of the sites. Money, money, money!
What did he use to clean the 2 coins in the glass?
Awesome underwater journey. Thanks for taking the time to do the video. Loved it.
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 ?"

Are they still making Skippy…
If not being able to keep the treasure why would they do it? It’s a very expensive venture.
That 55 year law is stupid!! Having to put stuff back? If left down there its gonna rot and be lost forever! Better to bring it up! This is more staged than a Shakespearian play!!
For still having an "air pocket" that cork came out awful easy. Also, there didn’t seem to be much excitement when they "found" that diving helmet. Me thinks things may have been a bit staged.
All these sunken ships are the reason I will never sail upon the ocean blue. Now hunting off shore for treasure is another thing entirely because land is very near.
Thank you for sharing
God bless
The cave art isn’t fresh honest 😄🤣🎨🖌️
Quite interesting.
could not find the thumbnail – fake – dont watch
19 comments made BUT ONLY 10 are shown. WHY ? !
I hope one day to do what you’re doing
Really? Where is the stage?
That divers helmet is a incredible find!! Kinda strange someone would just leave it in the mud???
WHEN the Ausie govt, actually goes out and finds coins on the bottom of the sea THEN the coins are theirs.
Nothing here but another thief looting archaeological sites. Should be thrown in jail the rest of his life.
Not what I expected, but interesting .
You lost me by saying ‘unexplored’ like people did not live there before the Europeans came.
Sheesh. To survive a ship wreck just to be killed on land by an abergeronie.
So if you cannot keep the treasure. Is there at least a finders fee?
Thank you for sharing
God bless
Looks amazing. To be able to explore down there.
Wonderful episode, I remained glued to the very end. Bravo too the captain and his lovely crew!
Does anyone know when they filmed this?
Silver coins were the most popular coins during that time ? Were there any gold coins during that time frame ?
Thanks for doing the video fantastic to watch you
Such staged bullshit!
Original aired in 2010?! Hard to believe the narrotor, Ben Cropp, is 87 yrs old now…. the helmet was staged.
Booobs
Lost me in the intro Dutch and English EXPLOITATION!!! Are you one of these sc##bags that hates yourself that much you want to change history to feel better about yourself????😂😂😂😂😂😂
You got to put it back yeah right I bet you wont be putting any gold back
To Busy Discovering for your self nd your People’s White Man Greed
The snare drum used doesn’t seem to be a traditional instrument 😂
ha ha ha ha ha that diverts helmet was such a plant ! the camera was already there and they were not at all surprised .
Well well well, John Harding @usfansw a trip out on Freedom with Ben – didn’t know you were in the area.
GREAT VIDEO Ben, Thank You, I can very highly recommend the Pandora Museum in Townsville as a must-visit, the Museum Team did a fantastic job and the exhibits are fabulous.
The Pandora section of your Video had me reminiscing of memories of the Dive expedition I was privileged to be part of when the sailor’s remains in a specially built casket were returned to the wreck. There was a special service and blessing by the Navy Chaplin Mark, from the Cairns Navy Base.
There were 2 Vessels for that expedition MV Pacific Conquest, where the Museum Crew lived and worked very hard with artifacts restorations, also on board were 2 Navy Clearance divers.
I was aboard MV HERO, with Les Hiddens[ The Bush Tucker Man], his ABC Film crew making a documentary of Les, Diving the Wreck and some of its history.
There were 2 Scientists who travelled to the site with us from Cairns and then transferred to the other Vessel for the balance of the expedition for obvious reasons.
Colin Hodson of the Dive Bell Townsville, who also owned MV Hero at that time, and was MV Hero’s Skipper and the Expeditions Dive Manager.
It was a fantastic experience and it was wonderful to relive the adventure thanks to your Video 👏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻 Best Regards Pene 🙋🏻♀️
what kind of moron puts lead back into the sea
Sorry when he says at 47:30 that the assination of William of Orange was the cause for the thirty year war, that is totally wrong. It was because Fredrick IV of the Pfalz and his wife Elizabeth Stuart took the Bohemian crown, which rightfully belonged to Emporer Ferdinand II that started the thirty year war. The bit with the Dutch and the Spanish was the eighty years war,
