Episode The lost shipwreck that started a navy
A warship born from panic. A cannon that was never fired. A shipwreck that's been lost for over a century. And one man determined to find it.
Dr James Hunter (Manager of Maritime Archaeology at the Australian National Maritime Museum) tells Marc Fennell (Stuff The British Stole) the strange, true story of Spitfire. It was Australia's first defence vessel, built for a war that never came, and lost in a wreck that no one has found.
