On October 8, 1880, a group of five men headed out on their small boat from Bermagui, in New South Wales, Australia. Aboard the boat was an assistant geological surveyor for the New South Wales Mines Department by the name of Lamont Young, his assistant Maximillian Schneider, the boat’s owner Thomas Towers, and two of Towers’ friends, named William Lloyd and Daniel Casey. The purpose of their excursion was to head along the coast north of Bermagui to scout out new goldmines there, but this was an expedition from which none of these men would return, leaving a perplexing mystery that has never been solved.
