These are wrecks that exist perhaps in one or two articles buried in archives or perhaps a lingering artifact here or there that people don't pay any mind to. This is along the lines of my "Wreck of the Indian" video, where there's no marker at the site, no graves, nothing - just one or two snippets if you dig for it. Beneath the surface of the Irish Sea lies the forgotten wreck of Adgillus, a wooden sailing ship built in 1873 and lost in a violent storm a year after her launch. Nearly wiped from the historical record, we uncover how a single artifact led to an international investigation across archives, wreck sites, and forgotten shipyards. This episode dives deep into the untold history of Adgillus through rare historical documents, survivor accounts, and crafted hand-made animations in Unreal Engine 5- (NOT AI). You’ll follow the ship’s construction in 19th-century Quebec, her final doomed voyage, and the eerie salvage of her cargo more than a century later. Join us for an in-depth look at one of history’s most obscure shipwrecks - and the incredible story told by a single plate.
