Wreck of the Strathmore Deaths

Passengers who drowned or died on the Crozet Islands, a sub-antarctic archipelago of small islands in the southern Indian Ocean. The Crozet Islands were discovered on 24 January 1772 by the expedition of French explorer Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne, aboard Le Mascarin. His second-in-command Jules (Julien-Marie) Crozet landed on Île de la Possession, claiming the archipelago for France. The expedition continued east and landed at New Zealand, where Captain Marion and much of his crew were killed and cannibalized by Maori.
