Anjou (ship)

Anjou was a 1,642 gross register tons (GRT), French steel barque built in 1899.

The crew took shelter in the boat shed and hunted seals, birds and shellfish for food.

Fearing that supplies of food would run short they continued to supplement their diet with local wildlife and also sought out the other depot on the Islands.

Other castaways, such as those from Grafton, General Grant, and Dundonald, had significantly longer stays and suffered much hardship and loss of life.
