Royal Wreck of Gold

On October 26th 1859, on the last leg of her journey from Melbourne to Liverpool, the Royal Charter was wrecked in one of the worst storms ever to hit Britain.

The loss of life was immense, but so too was the amount of gold on board. $130m worth: unearthed in Australia, lost at sea. Now, world champion gold hunter, Vince Thurkettle is on a mission; to recover the Royal Charter's lost treasure.
