Disappointment Island has some interesting history, including a shipwreck which stranded sixteen people on it in 1907.
On 7 March 1907, the Dundonald, a steel, four-masted barque, sank after running ashore on the west side of Disappointment Island. Twelve men drowned and sixteen survivors waited seven months for rescue. Disappointment Island is one of seven uninhabited islands in the Auckland Islands archipelago, in New Zealand. They survived on supplies from the castaway depot on Auckland Island. The island was visited by a scientific expedition in November 1907.
