I never understood why someone in the modern age would cry over someone who lost their lives hundreds of years ago and never knew them. People are strange I tell ya.
My dogs and I looked for lost treasures on our walks. We found lost silver and gold jewelry and many stones. Now I have a large collection, but those dogs died. My new dog is now good on the leash and we have only found a few things.
Vince Thurkettle, you have stirred the spirit of many who watched your video. To actually gone back to Australia and tracked down the bit of history and the actual relatives of the awful shipwreck. You are commended for your effort Sir. Thank you.
Amazing challenging and though time in history. Feel so sorry for the women and children lost. Incredible gold history as well in those times. Thank you for posting.
In any gold rush the ones who make the biggest fortunes were not the miners and prospectors but those who sold the miners and prospectors their tools, food, and clothing.
I learned just a couple of days ago that my 3rd-great-grandfather, John Bennett, was a sea captain -- a master mariner who lived right there at the River Dee, from whence the Royal Charter was launched. According to my family records, John launched it, and his wife Jane christened it. She had smashed a bottle of champagne against the side of the ship for "good luck." Regarding Edward Bennett: the brother of that 3rd-great-grandfather of mine (my 3rd-great-granduncle) is named Edward Bennett. He also was a master mariner. I kind of doubt he ever was on the Royal Charter, but he does have a connection to it. (I know he did not die on the ship, at least.) The year, the geographical location, and Edward's occupation all line up. That snuff box may or may not have been his. If he wasn't on the ship for that fateful voyage, perhaps he had gifted the snuff box to a friend who did go on the ship.
omg its the strangest feeling to see a documentary that has parts of your your neighbourhood in it. i walked past Melbourne's station pier just a few hours ago. sooooo strange
Absolutely loved this short documentary. I'm a prospector from Geelong and there is a street in the main city of Geelong called Fenwick St. Got me wondering if that's where old mate Fenwick lived after the tragic night. Did he come back this way to continue his hunt for the Victorian gold?
because it's landed on British territorial waters and there's a specific law about shipwreck and salvage from thousands of years ago. All modern maritime salvage and recovery laws are similar to that all over the world. Legally the Crown through the Receiver of Wreck has to administer all of the wreck on UK territorial waters. If it's from abroad, the finders can keep it after 1 year of unclaimed findings. But back then Australia was a British territory and British Dominion. All Australian were British. Therefore the Crown through the Receiver of Wreck by law, can keep it after 1 year of unclaimed possession after its finding. Since it's not from abroad. If you can prove that you're the owner or the beneficiary, you can get it from the Receiver of Wreck.
So glad I watched this…carried that sense of intrigue right through….and I became aware of another bit of history that I was unaware of…lots of love for this content from 🇮🇳
In the house of my late Welsh grandmother, in Moelfre, Anglesey, in the 1950s my English told me that there was the Capts' chair from the Royal Charter ( with plaque on back of chair ) & the ships' clock..... whatever else the Francis family had salvaged from the ship wreck....',,,,, was a family secret.
there is still so much to talk about beneath the silence of the sea and the ship. quip more for the history. once i was in perth wa. tnxs and God bless
Maybe Edward Bennett was the grandfather or uncle, or father of the actual person on the boat. And he gave that as a gift when they left for their journey for good luck.
will there ever be a time when our technology gets soo good we can acurately visualise the seas's contents as well as on land.... think of the tings we could recover!
Well you better start diving,make sure you and your team are good swimmer's and you have all the equipment to look for the (buried) treasure.Its going to take time,money and patience.If Mel Fisher,RIP,did it,which he did then you can do it.
As most people know, the world slowed down during covid. The waters were more calm. Even sea creatures seemed to be coming out of nowhere.. Now, the settle of everything.. What couldn't be seen before, now, is happening.. the Earth settled down for a minute..
You guys had a really interesting video about the native americans that got removed the same day it was put up. How can I watch that one?? Do you guys have a website or another channel somewhere?
WOW,A PERFECT VIDEO,WISH I WOULD OF GOTTEN ENVOLVED IN TREASURE HUNTING,UNDERWATER AND ON LAND WHEN I WAS IN MY 20-30'S.MEL FISHER MADE IT BIG,BIG TIME! I'D BE NICE TO GO DOWN TO THE GULF OF MEXICO WITH MY NEW GARRETT AT MAX METAL DETECTOR, I'D SPEND WEEK'S DOWN THERE AND THEN GO OVER TO THE WEST SIDE AND ALL AROUND FLORIDA TO THE EAST SIDE AND WORK MY WAY UP THE EAST COAST.
Henry Ford had an internal security(thug) named Harry Herbert Bennett who was involved in the attack of the Union organizers on the infamous Rouge River bridge incident, he was a boxer with some maritime experience. This occurred in Detroit/Dearborn Michigan. May be just a coincidence and reveals the dark side of taking care of business
Hardy men were more likely to survive being battered by debris & banged around on the rocks than women & certainly children who probably drown rather quickly in a severe storm - not to say there very easily could've been some self-serving loathsome creatures among the men who only looked out for themselves
Hi. You can buillt several or multiple positive buoyant chambers. Like lego, in the case of rupture they vill be afloat. Piramid or v shape. My very best regards.
That law where the British government takes all treasure finds is a stupid law and it is one that I wouldn't pay any attention to and I bet that the government is losing more finds because of it because the person spends all that time and money to find it and the government steps in and takes it with no compensation that is why I wouldn't say a word and I bet that a lot of people are doing the same thing
I watched the whole thing because it was an interesting bit of history. But I agree, the drama was more created than real, and to much leaping to conclusions. Just one example, the ring "likely belonged" to that one little girl? Well maybe it did, but the word "likely" was a bit strong, it could have just as "likely" belonged to one of the other little girls. Or it may have been a gift that someone was bring home for someone.
Well I hated the way they were dramatizing the ring business at the end - that poor old guy was expecting to be given that ring that could have belonged to his family. Of course there was a reason they only took pics of the stuff back to Australia ! The story was interesting, just didn't need all the extra phony stuff !
@@veronicaroach3667 this whole ring business is highly subjective. There is no way for them to prove whose ring it was or any of the other items. This created for drama only and poorly done so.That poor man was taken advantage of and lied to.

My heart goes out to all the helpless children that died in that sinking. They were too young to die.
Can't figure out why all the children perished as well as the mother's.

Fantastic content to listen to during my work day keep up the great work
Great Episode
Great video and great story.
And, to think they were so close to home. Sad, very sad.😔

Humbling and Inspiring. A wonderful story and so calming. Thanks.
My family my gold!! Give it back!
Go get it yourself

Truly a very special show! I think every single soul on this earth, would love to know as much history as they possibly could about their origins!
Don’t tell any one I told you this but the treasure is located on earth 🌍
Did the British Crown mine the gold, transport it, or salvage it? Then why do they claim it? I say, “Finders Keepers”.
If you dont report your findings they can throw you in jail & charge you an amount to pay. That's how it is in Europe. America is finders keepers.
Same could be said about that 600,000 silver coins 🪙 found in Spanish waters 🔍🤔
It belongs to the australian prople. Send it here and we will divy it up.
It was a charter...

Thank you for the show it was great
Very interesting content. definitely appreciate it!
In the house of my late Welsh grandmother, in Moelfre, Anglesey, in the 1950s my English told me that there was the Capts' chair from the Royal Charter ( with plaque on back of chair ) & the ships' clock.....
whatever else the Francis family had salvaged from the ship wreck....',,,,, was a family secret.
Remember...People were much smaller all those yrs back . .the size of a young teenager today was full grown then
Yes. We're all giant fatties now.
Awesomeness!!!!good on ya mate.
there is still so much to talk about beneath the silence of the sea and the ship. quip more for the history. once i was in perth wa. tnxs and God bless
I have a fear of being stranded out in the ocean. I also get horrible sea sickness.
That was pretty cool
Maybe Edward Bennett was the grandfather or uncle, or father of the actual person on the boat. And he gave that as a gift when they left for their journey for good luck.
This is a very Awsome story,,,,,,,
@ 7:50: She meant to say saved those people FROM those watery deaths. (And she's got a PhD in history?)
Speaking of that ring... my ring finger is sized 4.5 lol
I personally don’t like how excited he sounds 450 innocent lives were lost there mostly women and children
will there ever be a time when our technology gets soo good we can acurately visualise the seas's contents as well as on land.... think of the tings we could recover!

40:35 the oldest passenger was in their 40s? This guy looked 60ish
He lived - some 34 men survived

The title of this video is a bit misleading. Only the first 20 minutes is about the hunt.
So nice of you to spend you life savings on a hobby to find the queen's gold, since you love it so much england gave him 2 gold coins.true story.
Hi. Pisitive buoyant, detachable compartiments.I think that worlwide space agenties can help. my very best regards.
Ain't no government getting anything I find
Gold and history.
are there still old plans of that ships building days?
@ 5:00: Shouldn't that be INTERcontinental travel?
That was my great, great, great grandfather. I figure I should get $20 million. Your welcome.
*YOU’RE welcome.
You’re welcome.
You guys had a really interesting video about the native americans that got removed the same day it was put up. How can I watch that one?? Do you guys have a website or another channel somewhere?
They have several videos with Native American history all over the channel. I'd search the homepage and you'll find plenty.
God bless

I'm at the very end of a long line of Bennett men. that would be interesting to see if it has Providence to me
sorry error ,,, the line should read '' my English mother told me '''
Why not melt that “gold dust” into gold bars PRIOR to shipping I?
What kind of ship wreck only saves the men and crew and don’t help 1 women or child? That’s messed up.
Hardy men were more likely to survive being battered by debris & banged around on the rocks than women & certainly children who probably drown rather quickly in a severe storm - not to say there very easily could've been some self-serving loathsome creatures among the men who only looked out for themselves
I miss the british century so much. the age of liberalism and optimism before the totalitarian cynicism of the 20th century.
I'm curious do dowsing rods work under water ???
Anyone ever try it ???
Hi. You can buillt several or multiple positive buoyant chambers. Like lego, in the case of rupture they vill be afloat. Piramid or v shape. My very best regards.
Hi
UK law socks. If I find gold, I'll put it in my pocket and not tell anyone.
How come they’re not using metal detectors
Must be great to be "well championed?"
That law where the British government takes all treasure finds is a stupid law and it is one that I wouldn't pay any attention to and I bet that the government is losing more finds because of it because the person spends all that time and money to find it and the government steps in and takes it with no compensation that is why I wouldn't say a word and I bet that a lot of people are doing the same thing
it either sank OR it was held up for a few days to unload the gold and then sank by government , well that's the conspiracy ,according to legend
Chah tah
🥺
Yeah yeah sure 😏
Why don't you use vaccum hoses ro find rhe treasure???
I hate to say this Time line. The over the top dramatization of this truly interesting topic turned me off. Stopped watching after 20 minutes.
