The story of the "Pandora" is a tragic but little known sequel to the infamous "Mutiny on the Bounty". sent to the Pacific to recapture the "Bounty" mutineers, the "Pandora" sank on 29 August 1791 after running around on the Great Barrier Reef. THirty one crew and four mutineers perished. for almost 200 years it lay undisturbed and largely forgotten, but her discovery in 1977 began an exciting new era in Australian Maritime archaeology. It is the oldest known wreck on the east coast, it's a rich storehouse offering insights into our seafaring past.https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=9780724244829… (mais)
