7. Ship of Ice

Join the Sea Hunters as they dive amidst the spectacular backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in one of the country's most beautiful National Parks to explore the remains of an amazing top secret WWII experiment. In 1942, Geoffrey N. Pyke, an eccentric British genius, made a proposal that captured the imagination of Lord Mountbatten and Sir Winston Churchill. Pyke suggested the idea of building a huge aircraft carrier made of ice. The proposed dimensions of the final aircraft carrier were to be, 2000 feet long by 300 feet wide. Pyke called the proposed vessel "Habbakuk" a misspelling of the Old Testament Book of the Prophet. The carrier was to be made of a remarkable product called 'pykrete'...a mixture of ice and wood pulp, producing incredible strength and resilience.

6. Death in the Dardanelles

Join the Sea Hunters as they dive a closed Turkish military zone for the remains of two British battleships lost in the Dardanelles campaign. In the Straits of the Dardanelles off the coast of Gallipoli, lies the wreckage of HMS "Goliath" and the HMS "Triumph", both lost while stationed with the Allied fleet during the Dardanelles campaign. "HMS Triumph", sunk by famed U-boat captain Otto Hersing in U-21, was a Swiftsure class battleship, and now lies in nearly 72 meters of water. Another pre-dreadnought, the Majestic, was sunk a few days later by the same U-boat. "HMS Goliath", a Canopus class battleship was sunk by the skilled and audacious maneuverings of a Turkish torpedo boat, the Muavenet. These losses represented a major blow for the Royal Navy and were indicative of the bloodshed and massacre that were to follow on the shores of Gallipoli.

5. U-215 & Alexander Macomb

Join the "Sea Hunters" as they dive the remains of the "Alexander Macomb" search her extraordinary cargo of planes, tanks and military equipment and tell the story of Liberty Ships, "the boats that won the war". The "Alexander Macomb" started life on February 18, 1942, as Hull number 0036 at the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard in Baltimore, Maryland. Six weeks later she slipped down the ways. She steamed to New York and loaded her war time cargo of Sherman Tanks, P-40 aircraft and other parts and supplies for the Allied war effort and then sent to Boston to muster in convoy to Halifax and on to Archangel. On her maiden voyage across the Atlantic and just hours out of Boston she was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-Boat, 10 of her crew were lost. Like nearly 600 of her sister convoy vessels she would end the war forgotten on the bottom of the cold Atlantic Ocean.

4. Rusalka: Czar's Lost Ironclad

Driven "like a knife" into the soft clay bottom of the Baltic Sea rests one of Czarist Russia's most powerful warships. Standing nearly erect, her bow buried deep in the clay at 74 meters and her stern just 33 meters from the surface, is the wreckage of "Rusalka". For nearly 100 years the remains of Imperial Russia's largest "ironclad" have laid hidden beneath the waves of the Baltic. Now, "The Sea Hunters", working with the Estonian Maritime Museum, will bring her image and story back to the world. Join The Sea Hunters as we explore this remarkable wreck, tell the story of her last voyage, and learn the remarkable story of her founder.

The sinking of the Prince of Wales and Repulse sent shock waves through the British Admiralty in the same way Pearl Harbor totally disrupted Washington. Inexpensive little planes with cheap torpedoes were taking out capital ships with near total impunity. The rules of naval warfare were being rewritten and aircraft and carriers were moving to the forefront.

2. Queen of Nassau

Join the Sea Hunters as they dive and explore Canada's first naval training ship resting in the magnificent waters of a National Marine Sanctuary. The HMCS "Canada" was built in England at the Vickers Maxim and Sons Yard in Barrow in Furness. She was delivered to Canada in 1904 to work in the Canadian Fisheries Protection service. She later became the Canadian Navy's first naval training ship and was, as stated by Canadian naval historians, the "Flagship of the embryonic Canadian Navy at the time, symbolic of the evolution of Canada from a dominion within the British Empire to a sovereign nation". She was decommissioned in 1919 and was sold in 1924 to Mr. Barron Collier, a rich Florida landowner, who renamed her "Queen of Nassau". She sank en-route to Tampa Florida in 1926.
