“If you’d said I was going to go hunt and find a new pirate ship, I’d have gone, ‘you’re crazy’,” Russell told Guardian Australia. “I just stumbled on it. Boom. There it was on the screen in front of me.

“I immediately knew and as soon as I started checking, everything just fitted so perfectly.”

First, that Thread Title deserves a round of applause, especially after the edit.

There were some great convict escape stories, including rowing 5000 Km and dressing up as a kangaroo (if only it hadn't been for those pesky kids starving guards). This is epic, thanks for posting it!

...One of the most infamous incidents, was the escape attempt of one George “Billy” Hunt. Hunt disguised himself using a kangaroo hide and tried to flee...
