Wreck not gold ship
PA Auckland A wreck which a syndicate believed was that of the gold ship General Grant turned out to be the remains of a French wheat carrier, says the wife of one of the syndicate divers.
Mrs Gina Dearling said that finds on the wreck site at the Auckland Islands had established the shipwreck as that of the Anjou, a barque lost in 1905, almost 40 years after the three-masted General Grant foundered there.
The syndicate had abandoned the hope that there were two shipwrecks at the site. It is now searching elsewhere at the Auckland Islands for the General Grant, but big seas are hampering efforts.
