Voyage of the Nautilus, The

The journey of renowned Australian military photographer Sir Hubert Wilkins in a rusty WW1 submarine to the North Pole in 1931 truly is of the worlds greatest stories of adventure never told.

Long before nuclear powered vessels would even contemplate such a voyage, Hubert Wilkins set out from New York aboard an outdated O-Class submarine renamed Nautilus, of which he leased for a single dollar, towards the last great unknown, the Artic Ocean.

Only now, after two years of extensive research into an amazing and tragic journey can the mysteries of the Nautilus and Wilkins last great expeditiion finally be revealed. It was an adventure which would be the crowning glory in an extraordinary life of exploration, science and discovery, but one that would destroy reputations and send Wilkins from the headlines to the footnotes of history.

Complied from more than 20 hours of stunning archival footage, 250 still photographs and new footage filmed from around the globe, Voyage of the Nauti8lus is narrated from Wilkins' own personal journals by acclaimed actor Sam Neill to deliver an inspirational and remarkable look inside the life of an unsung Australian hero.
