The Screen Guide

August 1859 and the steam ship Admella is broken in three upon the Carpenters Reef in the wild seas of south-east South Australia. Never before, and never since, has maritime history recorded such a saga of human suffering as survivors endured monster seas and deprivation of food and water, trapped a 'short mile' off shore. This documentary educates and entertains as the story is told of an ordeal which will leave you astounded.
