My New Zealand Story: Castaway

A Teenage Survivor's Tale
of Shipwreck and
​Resilience

​A harrowing true story of shipwreck and survival in the unforgiving sub-Antarctic waters off New Zealand.
Thirteen-year-old Samuel signs on as a cabin boy, eager for adventure aboard a vessel bound for Sydney. But fate takes a cruel turn. On March 6, 1907, the barque Dundonald crashes and sinks off the desolate Disappointment Island, part of the Auckland Islands group south of New Zealand.
Fifteen souls survive the wreck, stranded on a remote island. Facing a brutal winter, they battle starvation, the elements, and despair, clinging to hope of rescue. Will they survive until help arrives?
