In this episode of Shipwreck Tales, Graeme Hill is joined by John McCrystal to revisit the wreck of the Invercauld, a British ship lost on the bleak Auckland Islands in 1864. What begins as a navigation disaster in fog and wild weather becomes a stark survival story, marked by starvation, fractured leadership, grim choices, and the extraordinary resilience of seaman Robert Holding. Set against the eerie contrast of the better-known Grafton castaways elsewhere on the same island, the episode explores how leadership, morale, and human endurance can determine who survives when everything else is stripped away.
