The Goss dinghy story is excellent!

I like the serendippity aspect of the dinghy story, and the fact that it fetched up on a beach not rocks, on an island and not drifted out into the southern ocean, and that the finders were sailors and had an idea what they'd got, not burnt it as a beach bonfire as many may have.
