Two Shipwrecks, Same Island, Opposite Fates

The Grafton and Invercauld wrecked months apart on Auckland Island in 1864 — one crew built a forge, wrote a constitution, and sailed to freedom; the other descended into starvation, abandonment, and cannibalism. 📖 The book behind this story: Island of the Lost by Joan Druett — https://geni.us/XQySuR 🎨 Visual Storytelling: This documentary uses AI-generated cinematic art to bring historical events to life. This documentary tells the true story of two ships wrecked months apart on opposite ends of the same remote subantarctic island, south of New Zealand. Captain Thomas Musgrave and French gold miner François Raynal led their five-man crew to survival through democratic leadership, a hand-built forge, and an extraordinary open-ocean voyage to Stewart Island. Meanwhile, Captain George Dalgarno's crew of twenty-five collapsed into hierarchy, abandonment, and violence — with only three rescued alive by a passing Portuguese vessel. Based on the survivors' own journals and memoirs, this is the story of what happens when leadership fails and when it doesn't. 📚 SOURCES & FURTHER READING Primary Sources: Castaway on the Auckland Isles by Thomas Musgrave (1866) — Captain's journal — https://geni.us/XqIq Wrecked on a Reef (Les Naufragés) by François Édouard Raynal (1870) — First mate's memoir Robert Holding's unpublished memoir (written c. 1927, published 2003 in Wake of the Invercauld) Contemporary Newspapers (1865–1866): Otago Witness — September 1865 North Otago Times — September 1865 London Daily News — Early 1866 Glasgow Herald — December 27, 1865 ("Twenty Months on an Uninhabited Island") Illustrated London News — Mid-1866 (comparative report on both wrecks) Lyttelton Times (Christchurch, NZ) — October 25, 1865 Colonist (Nelson, NZ) — September 12, 1865 Southland Times (Invercargill, NZ) — September 1865 Hokitika Times — October 28, 1865 (editorial criticizing Dalgarno) Melbourne Argus — September 26, 1865 Secondary Sources: Island of the Lost by Joan Druett (Algonquin Books, 2007) — Definitive modern account Wake of the Invercauld by Madelene Ferguson Allen (Exisle Publishing, 2003) — Publishes Holding's memoir Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown, 2019) — Chapter 6 case study "The Lockean State of Nature in Shipwreck Societies" by Larry Arnhart — Darwinian Conservatism, December 16, 2021 "A Tale of Two Shipwrecks" by Don Rowe — New Zealand Geographic, Issue 167, 2021 "Castaways" by Ken Scadden — Te Ara, Encyclopedia of New Zealand, 2005 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for new true survival stories every week Survival Instinct explores history's most extraordinary true stories of human endurance, maritime disasters, and survival against impossible odds. 🎵 Music: Original soundtrack created for this documentary ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Some links in this description are affiliate links.

Thank you! #survival #history #documentary #shipwreck In 1864, the schooner Grafton and the barque Invercauld both wrecked on Auckland Island in the Southern Ocean, four hundred eighty kilometers south of New Zealand. François Raynal forged tools from shipwreck iron and built bellows from sealskin to construct an escape vessel, while Robert Holding — an ordinary seaman on the Invercauld — survived cannibalism proposals, officer violence, and a year of failed leadership before being rescued by the Portuguese ship Julian. Their contrasting ordeals remain one of history's most powerful studies in how cooperation and leadership determine who lives and who dies.
