About this episode
Most people know Kelly Tarlton as the founder of a famous underground aquarium in Auckland. What you may not know is that he was also New Zealand's most successful treasure hunter. 40 years after his death, a tale told on the high seas ignites a quest to complete his final treasure hunt.
Special thanks to the Tarlton family for their support and trust in making this podcast.
