Ah Sam deserved/deserves more acknowledgement as he (even though he was a slave) could have left the lady and her baby to fend for themselves but instead decided (even having sustained bad injuries) stayed and protected the pair until his last breath. That island should have his name on it aswell. Ah Sam is the true hero in this story.
Slavery was normal in china and he was likely raised as a slave. He would never have abandoned his owner. They viewed themselves as a natural part of the family and society, rather than as apart from it, needing to escape. So not really surprising at all that he didn't just run off
By far my favorite episode, you can tell your level of interest, excitement and respect while telling this story I’ve never heard. Thank you and cheers!
the loyalty of that servant is admirable. I have been injured to where I lost about 2 litres of blood rapidly and I could not even stand, I passed out and when I woke hours later, I had to crawl, I could not walk. I had immense thirst, and mad it to a house, I drank from there garden hose for a good few minutes, gulping down a lot of water. And was able to stand and walk again and get myself to hospital. Even though He would have needed water badly, I somehow feel he would have given it to the lady and her baby first if finding any..
And unsurprisingly Ah Sam appears to get not historic acknowledgment for his efforts (massive efforts) in keeping Mary & the baby safe for so long... 🙏 - great story telling Strick!
Typical, Colonialst attitude towards people they enslaved, intentionally forgetting that they were the ones who helped build their empires and blame them if anything that went wrong
A great combination for a presentation: a biosphere and some history of human interaction within it... along with a touch of you. Always a winning formula. Thank you :)
In a real survival situation, I wouldn’t care if anything is endangered I do care about preserving our natural habitats and wildlife but in reality, my survival comes first
Excellent episode mate, but very sad story for about 153 innocent people. Look forward to hearing about the chap who lived with the aboriginal people - reckon that might be a happier tale!
Thanks for the really accurate story, no bias. Beautiful epic places it's easy to imagine white Europeans not being able to survive. Heart breaking story of our indigenous peoples. Thanks for the honest story
That was the best story I’ve heard in a very long time. I wish history was told like this with real time adventures to the places it happened. And the excitement on your face is the best, really like your videos.
This was terrific! What a great adventure and history. I will be very happy to watch as many of these as you care to produce. I always enjoy your channels. Thank you.
Wouldn't want to be shipwrecked in Australia present day nearly everything is protected 😆... Certainly one of the best and historical survival series I've watched... Only discovered your channel a day ago ✅ You're making Bear Grylls look like an amateur 😆😄 From London hope to visit Australia soon...
I appreciate that you really show the importance of foraging and knowing the local flora and fauna in a survival situation. Too many people underestimate just how screwed they'd be, just because they don't know what is and isn't edible
I didn’t expect to almost cry this morning while watching one of your videos! A tragic story, may their souls Rest In Peace. As a mother, this particular video really moved me.
This was absolutely fascinating! The story, background, editing, teaching…somehow, you managed to merge it all into one cohesive video. Really well done!
What almost always sends a shiver down my spine watching survival tales like this, is while it's very much less likely now due to technology, there could be someone going through a similar survival experience as we speak, right now.
Amazing story and being told from the actual places where it all happened really brings to life the people so long ago, and what a harrowing experience and tragedy it was. Thanks for doing all the research and then making the effort to go to those remote places to tell the story . Well done bloke, top job, thank you!
to buy a crab in Canada, it's Live Local BC Dungeness Crab - Price per Crab $35.99 Interesting story there Strick, when I was in Australia, they had the Aboriginal channels full of information and stories, there was one about some young children that were to go into a foster home, and they decided to run away venturing through the desert with bare feet, and the clothes on their backs. Took them days to get back to their Aboriginal home. I think it was a famous story, can't recall the family name from the show, or the name of the show, was many years ago. Indigenous in Canada have similar stories. Very cool story, thanks for sharing.
Incredible story, and you did an awesome job telling it and reliving the path she took and the challenges she faced. Love all your videos, thanks. JimmyD
What an amazing story and a beautiful reflection on history while bringing the modern twist.. Fran tea towel..classic.. Thank your jack for a great channel.
We do Love your videos!! Thank you a lot for sharing. 15:24 there were birds flying away, and one of them did hit the mangrove tree and just crashed into the water haha.
Les Higgins (The Bush Tucker Man) would tell yuh where ever theres Casuarina Trees growing on the Dunes, dig down cause theres water there! Right where you cooked up the salt water your standing on fresh water & at the mouth of the H2O Cave Casuarina Trees!
all of the scenerey is so beautifull. I'm really happy i found this channel always cools me down and gets me exited to go out and see the beauty of nature. Inspiring.
Incredibly interesting and poignant. So excited for more re-visiting different survival stories I wonder how you know so much, and so many Aboriginal techniques as well. REALLY appreciate your content.
Great idea on how to get fresh water, I wouldn't have thought to do that with the saucepan lid. Just goes to show you should never give up because salvation could be just round the corner or down the road or accross the water a bit further or the next day or whatever. Always search till you find the answer. Great video
I love that I am learning history and also watching a cool survival video at the same time!! This would be a really cool way to teach in school. ! Love your videos
I've been to Watson Bay on Lizard Island, twice actually. First when I was 13 and again when I was 19. I saw the remains of the house and learned of the story of Mrs Watson. Beautiful place with some terrible history.
Really great content m8. The premise is legendary. It makes the difference between good and great. I would retire right now, move to Australia and be your camera man! Ok maybe not but you inspire this 52 year old Canadian to be better. ❤
Doing a Brown Tail Moth survey in ‘76, with the Dept of Agriculture along the coast of Maine. ME has a shit load of islands like Australia. My boss at the time explained that on many of the islands you could dig a well and find fresh water!
This was such a great video! And I especially enjoyed how you told this story in it! Great job!!! And wow if they had gone a little further they would have found it! Great stuff! Thank you 🤎
Great story telling Jack!! A sad ending for all involved. On another note I noticed casuarinas in the back ground, I thought that they represented fresh water. I’m sure I won’t be the only one saying it. Again great video mate
Great storey mate, I visited the Island two years ago and were dropped off on a western beach. Walked to the eastern celebrated beach and then back to the 5 xxxxx resort, personnel took umbrage at us walking in and asking for a drink at their bar, your history story is nice in the context of early 1800 hundreds, current occupants are no less hostile to visitors dropping in from a passing cruise ship.
When I come across several crab holes like you do, I get a fish head, and tie some line through its eyes and leave it at the entrance of the hole, the crab comes out to eat, they can smell it for miles, I do this with several holes at once and in 30 mins always have 4 to 5 big crabs, they cant pull the head in and are always waiting for me lol
This episode was by far one of the best eposodes you have done to date! We would love to see more stories similar to this but about the aborigines and how they lived :).
love this kind of story through history and todays world. Thank you for telling and sharing the parts that arenʻt often covered in history classes. We have similar history here in Hawaii and itʻs nice to educate people about the facts below the rugs.
My partner and I went with a friend to Lizard a couple of years ago. I was making some sculptures at Cooktown for The Gateway to Cape York project at Lakeland and went up to Lockhart to work with the guys up there and heard some of these stories, felt quite privileged. an amazing place so thanks so much for the extra insight into this story, very interesting.
ngl this is how teachers should teach thier students History in schools or colleges. just go out and explore by them self or watch this type of videos. that was interesting as hell

colonial terrorist would never name anything after their slave
Racism at its best. I doubt Mary would have survived so long without him.
Slavery was normal in china and he was likely raised as a slave. He would never have abandoned his owner. They viewed themselves as a natural part of the family and society, rather than as apart from it, needing to escape. So not really surprising at all that he didn't just run off
@@Fren69420 slavery was common in west and europe ya never mention that yo mama never told ya that colonial terrorist?
his name was "Ah Som" He said it like 4 times bro
By far my favorite episode, you can tell your level of interest, excitement and respect while telling this story I’ve never heard. Thank you and cheers!
16:08 theres a crocodile in the water
the loyalty of that servant is admirable. I have been injured to where I lost about 2 litres of blood rapidly and I could not even stand, I passed out and when I woke hours later, I had to crawl, I could not walk.

Slave* servants are paid at least. By trying to normalise it you shame yourself, yes your own self.
Slave. Not servant.
Shhh@@snusmumricken
yeah the lady that they killed 150 aboriginals for, good on you Australia, show your convict true colors
And unsurprisingly Ah Sam appears to get not historic acknowledgment for his efforts (massive efforts) in keeping Mary & the baby safe for so long... 🙏 - great story telling Strick!
Typical, Colonialst attitude towards people they enslaved, intentionally forgetting that they were the ones who helped build their empires and blame them if anything that went wrong
Who's Ah Sam? he's Chinese?
@@ustaz_abu_janthe chinese slave/servant that had nurtured the baby and mary watson
you're one of the best and most underrated story tellers of all time , excellent video
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the Episode
Of all time? Steady on… wonderful but tragic story though….
Its good . But not the best
Kinda mediocre , no offense
He should be. If you know anything about this Man. He is smarter then most people in the country.
All and his sidekick she’s smart too.
A great combination for a presentation: a biosphere and some history of human interaction within it... along with a touch of you. Always a winning formula. Thank you :)
In a real survival situation, I wouldn’t care if anything is endangered I do care about preserving our natural habitats and wildlife but in reality, my survival comes first
Right its called food chain
Obviously, but this video isn’t a real survival situation. In a real survival situation, nothing matters but staying alive.
why do you think they’re endangered
Thats racist
@@Fren69420 - Huh !?
Excellent episode mate, but very sad story for about 153 innocent people. Look forward to hearing about the chap who lived with the aboriginal people - reckon that might be a happier tale!

Wow, what a story, what an episode.. one of the best ive ever seen on youtube.. thanks Strick.. best story teller
You hit the nail on the head when you said, " The aboriginals were shocked to see someone on their SACRED hunting grouds".
how was the white people supposed to know its sacred land? there was nobody there when they arrived
Very well put together story Strick. Well done mate. Tragedy on both sides of the coin but very un-biased and respectfully told.
Great episode! What a great story of the history from that area. Thanks for telling both sides. You do it justice! Thanks for sharing!
What almost always sends a shiver down my spine watching survival tales like this, is while it's very much less likely now due to technology, there could be someone going through a similar survival experience as we speak, right now.
Great to have a series of these with other adventures from dies gone by.
Bloody love this. You need to do more about the history and adventures. Well done this is definitely the way forward. Massive respect ❤❤
you deserve a Discovery channel show and all the good things in life these vids are great
I very much enjoyed your idea to follow them through their ordeal and to pay your respects to all who perished. /respect
I love these videos because not only do you get survival tips and tricks, you also get an interesting history lesson.
Fantastic story. All that beauty and potential, may all of them rest in peace.

Thanks for doing all the research and then making the effort to go to those remote places to tell the story . Well done bloke, top job, thank you!
What an incredible episode! This will be studied for centuries! Thanks Strick and Fran, you guys are one of a kind!
Wow! Really enjoyed hearing that story and seeing you recreate their journey. Good stuff.

Brilliant episode mate. Thank you.
We do Love your videos!! Thank you a lot for sharing. 15:24 there were birds flying away, and one of them did hit the mangrove tree and just crashed into the water haha.
Old mate did well to get away with seven spears in him ,lol, good stuff
This is great storytelling and I love the telling of the aboriginal side so often overlooked Well done team 👏
They should have won, then they could tell it. This is the great game of civilizations they were isolated from for so long
Les Higgins (The Bush Tucker Man) would tell yuh where ever theres Casuarina Trees growing on the Dunes, dig down cause theres water there! Right where you cooked up the salt water your standing on fresh water & at the mouth of the H2O Cave Casuarina Trees!
Thanks again for another adventure and tale. Really enjoy these survival challenge episodes.

Awesome Jacko and a well told story mate, they were so close 👍👍👍
Very cool episode Strick, thank you. So close but so very far away .
Great sharing !! Hope who ever passed away innocently in this awful ordeal are in heaven now!😢😢
Thank you for your unbiased history lesson 🙏🏽

Just goes to show you should never give up because salvation could be just round the corner or down the road or accross the water a bit further or the next day or whatever.

Interesting telling of the story of Mary Watson. Nicely done Strick!
Thank you for this episode. Telling the History of your country.
Absolutely love the history behind all these videos! Id love to see a collaboration with field days! You two would be amazing together!!!!
I love that I am learning history and also watching a cool survival video at the same time!! This would be a really cool way to teach in school. ! Love your videos
great video with an interesting history lesson. loved it.
We really enjoyed this episode. Thanks for both sides of the story.

This was a riveting video, captured my attention from start to finish. Amazing history as well as survival tactics
Very cool story, you told it well ! Thank You.
Circa 9:30, osprey's rather than eagles. Both are amazing birds. Great episode.
I wished this was a longer video. Man, what a story!
what about the tragic story of the people whose land was invaded ?
Hey guys from San Diego California USA 🇺🇸 ❤🎉
Fantastic episode, I love hearing the history of different parts of the world. A lot can be learned from the past.

Yep makes me laugh when I hear how violent society has become, the further you back the more violent and savage
Fascinating story. Thanks for sharing Strick.
that W is amazing at the end, just has lost at sea bro vibes

That is a true water oasis in the rock cave thanks for showing
And the lesson, if you've started a journey, you will reach your destination - if you have the courage, and persevere.
What a great story!! Love history! Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙 ❤️
Thanks kids awesome 🐠🐟👣🌊👍🏻😎😊
