 * The content wiped out 10 years ago at Special:Diff/501678145 is of some help. One can at least confirm that this isn't a hoax, although I didn't find the name "James Cook" in the source whose URL has not rotted.  Uncle G (talk) 20:17, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Adventure is mentioned at List of shipwrecks in 1855 and List of shipwrecks of Australia. One alternative to deletion would be to merge to those lists. Cunard (talk) 09:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
