The Forgotten Shipwreck is the tragic true story of a Cornish
pleasure boat which sank without trace or sensation, relegated in
news columns by England's football World Cup triumph the day
before. It spans so many facets, from a village numbed with whole
families wiped out, to angry exchanges in the House of Commons and
law courts. There is intrigue, chicanery, deceit, incompetence and
greed. It had far-reaching ramifications and yet, for all that, the
Darlwyne tragedy lacked an ending. On Thursday 4 August 1966 the
sea began to give up its dead. The relatives of twelve of the
thirty-one people who had set out on a pleasure trip on 31 July
could at least temper their grief to some small extent with the
fact that their remains had been found. The loved ones of the other
nineteen would have no such solace. Some fifty years later a team
of divers, archaeologists, filmmakers, photographers and wreck
researchers set about to change that. By piecing together
eyewitness accounts, news stories, court proceedings, weather
reports and archive material, and by applying modern methods and
underwater search techniques would they be able to succeed where
the original search mission had been unable? Could they unravel the
mystery of complicated waters and pinpoint the final resting place
of the Darlwyne?
