Send us a text In January 1864, the five-man crew of the schooner Grafton wrecked off Auckland Island's coast and survived for 18 months. Led by French sailor Francois Rain and Captain Thomas Musgrave, the crew operated on a communal basis, shared resources, and worked together to create shelter, find food, and build a forge to manufacture tools. They constructed a sturdy dinghy, named 'Rescue', to navigate the 300-mile journey to New Zealand.
