What happened to the Endeavour when it hit the Great Barrier Reef?
Lieutenant (later Captain) Jamrs Cook's ship, the HM Bark Endeavour, struck the Great Barrier Reef early in June 1770, damaging the hull.

Spiral corals, often referred to as spiral or helicoid corals, exhibit a distinctive spiral shape characterized by tightly coiled, cylindrical structures. Their skeletons can appear as intricate, winding patterns, typically showcasing a range of colors, including shades of white, brown, and green. These corals often have small polyps that extend from the spiral formations, contributing to their unique aesthetic and the overall health of the coral reef ecosystem. The spiral shape aids in maximizing surface area for feeding and gaining sunlight.

Your "quitclaim" deed only gave you as much "ownership" as was enjoyed by the previous owner. Anyone could, in theory, give a "quitclaim" to a property they don't actually "own". A "warranty deed" would have given you recourse directly against the seller for failure to convey what was deeded.
If the adverse possession had matured properly over the requisite period, and the claimant can prove in a court "action to quiet title", then your deed may be completely worthless. The people who sold it to you no longer owned it and thus had no power to "sell" it to anyone.
