Wooden boat that existed for 5 years. Can't find anything substantial to support notability, certainly not enough for GNG. AviationFreak💬 15:58, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The content wiped out 10 years ago at Special:Diff/501678145 is of some help. One can at least confirm that this isn't a hoax, although I didn't find the name "James Cook" in the source whose URL has not rotted. Uncle G (talk) 20:17, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Adventure is mentioned at List of shipwrecks in 1855#Unknown date and List of shipwrecks of Australia#New South Wales. One alternative to deletion would be to merge to those lists. Cunard (talk) 09:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
