Shipwreck Odyssey is inspired by the true story of the trading vessel Jenny Lind, shipwrecked in Kenn Reef, Queensland in 1850 while on a journey from Melbourne to Singapore and identified by the Museum’s maritime archaeologists in collaboration with Silentworld Foundation on their 2017 expedition.
Miraculously this wreck was one with no loss of life, it’s castaways taking refuge at Observatory Cay where they survived 37 days on distilled water piped from copper cookware, and salt water puddings. These amazing survivors even crafted their own rescue vessel out of salvaged timber which carried them safely back to the mainland.
