The Ben Hammond Mystery of the Sunda Straits
In 1805 the English brig Ben Hammond vanished after reporting as well while en route to Melbourne. A sailor Renfoo later told how the crew perished after wine and fruit aboard poisoned the crew. A subsequent survivor tale recounts the brig drifting ashore near Lombak Island with cargo valued at £27,000, later salvaged and the ship left to decay.
