Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:17,851
(tense music)
- Yeah, keep looking.
2
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:21,688
- We have got
to find something.
3
00:00:23,623 --> 00:00:26,059
- What have we here?
- What do you got, pal?
4
00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:28,862
- Holy crap,
what are you doing here?
5
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:34,934
Take a look at that.
6
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:39,272
- Holy (bleep)!
(laughing)
7
00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:41,841
What did I tell ya? Huh?
8
00:00:43,309 --> 00:00:45,645
(narrator): It's known
as The Death Coast.
9
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:46,713
(waves crash)
10
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:49,416
An area of rough sea
in the North Atlantic
11
00:00:49,482 --> 00:00:52,752
that's claimed more than
6,000 vessels.
12
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:54,287
(sailors shouting)
13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,157
Casting those aboard,
and treasure,
14
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:58,792
into its turbulent depths.
15
00:00:58,858 --> 00:01:01,761
(Jeff): We gotta turn this
thing around!
16
00:01:01,828 --> 00:01:02,896
Here we go!
17
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:08,134
(narrator): Gold, silver,
and other priceless objects
18
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:09,936
from the wrecked ships...
19
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:11,671
- Oh, my God, you're not
gonna believe this.
20
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:14,607
(narrator): ...lie scattered
across the ocean floor.
21
00:01:14,674 --> 00:01:16,943
- Gold coin right there.
- That is gorgeous.
22
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:19,712
(narrator): But salvaging here
has been banned
23
00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:23,783
for more than a decade,
thanks to rampant looting.
24
00:01:24,784 --> 00:01:26,486
Now...
25
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:27,954
- Storm is a-brewin'.
26
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:32,025
(thunder cracks)
Nothing could-- whoa, boy!
27
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:34,561
(narrator): After a long
battle, third generation
28
00:01:34,594 --> 00:01:36,429
shipwreck hunter,
Jeff MacKinnon, has won
29
00:01:36,529 --> 00:01:38,965
the exclusive rights to dive
30
00:01:39,032 --> 00:01:41,367
in these treacherous waters.
- Oh, yeah!
31
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:44,838
- But he only has
eight weeks to do it.
32
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:46,473
- Are you okay?
33
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,075
- Can Jeff and his team find
the treasure he seeks?
34
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:50,410
- Find me something.
35
00:01:50,477 --> 00:01:52,545
- Before the stormy waters
of the Death Coast...
36
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:54,280
- It's time for us
to get outta here.
37
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:55,582
- Pull him out.
Pull Doug out.
38
00:01:55,648 --> 00:01:58,818
(narrator): ...make
diving impossible.
39
00:02:03,923 --> 00:02:07,494
(dramatic music)
40
00:02:09,662 --> 00:02:12,665
(narrator): Five weeks into
an eight-week expedition,
41
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:14,701
- C'mon divers!
- Let's do it!
42
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:17,270
- Jeff and his team of divers
continue their search
43
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:19,038
for the lost Feversham convoy.
44
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:22,175
Four British that sank
off the coast of Nova Scotia's
45
00:02:22,208 --> 00:02:24,777
Scatarie Island in 1711.
46
00:02:26,846 --> 00:02:29,916
Accompanying the Feversham
were three transport ships:
47
00:02:30,016 --> 00:02:32,652
The Mary, the Joseph
and the Neptune,
48
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,990
each of which was believed to be
carrying significant funds.
49
00:02:41,594 --> 00:02:43,396
(narrator): Last week, while
searching the seabed
50
00:02:43,429 --> 00:02:47,534
west of the Feversham, the team
made an intriguing discovery.
51
00:02:47,634 --> 00:02:50,036
- Look at it right there!
That's an "M".
52
00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:51,037
- I see it, too.
53
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:53,473
- A bell fragment bearing
the letter "M"
54
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:55,608
leads Jeff to suspect
that he might have located
55
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:58,444
the final resting place
of the Mary.
56
00:02:58,511 --> 00:03:01,614
- I bet you right after "M",
there's an "A".
57
00:03:02,882 --> 00:03:05,451
(narrator): So Jeff is heading
back to Scatarie Island,
58
00:03:05,552 --> 00:03:08,087
to a new dive spot,
hoping to find more evidence
59
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:11,558
of the transport ships,
or their potential payloads.
60
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:14,160
- I think it's gonna be
a great day.
61
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:17,530
- We are crossing
the western breaker
62
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:21,267
into uncharted territory,
way past the Feversham.
63
00:03:22,835 --> 00:03:25,305
(narrator): Jeff's research
indicates the three
64
00:03:25,405 --> 00:03:28,775
support ships were pushed
westward past the Feversham,
65
00:03:29,709 --> 00:03:32,645
onto the rocks
of Scatarie Island.
66
00:03:33,846 --> 00:03:36,549
It's a particularly rough
section of the coast,
67
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,952
where the shoals extend
for hundreds of yards,
68
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:41,788
just under the surface
of the water.
69
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,289
(waves crash)
70
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:44,457
- It's right in there, look.
71
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,159
You're gonna have to moor
somewhere in here.
72
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,594
- Yup.
73
00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:52,632
- This place here is
destruction personified.
74
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:54,434
That rugged beauty'll bite ya.
75
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:55,802
- Alright!
76
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:02,709
- Here's the deal. Have a look
around, and then what
77
00:04:02,775 --> 00:04:05,044
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go out
to the outer reaches
78
00:04:05,111 --> 00:04:07,914
of the Hatches rocks, and then
we're gonna work our way in.
79
00:04:08,014 --> 00:04:11,451
And hopefully, we find some
trail of wreckage
80
00:04:11,517 --> 00:04:15,054
between there and there.
Let's go!
81
00:04:15,822 --> 00:04:18,758
See if we can bang out four
today, guys.
82
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:23,630
- Everything ready?
Tanks up! G'bye!
83
00:04:23,663 --> 00:04:25,832
Go find me something,
for the love of God!
84
00:04:29,168 --> 00:04:32,338
(dramatic music)
85
00:04:36,709 --> 00:04:39,512
(tense music)
86
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:42,015
Comm check.
87
00:04:42,582 --> 00:04:45,785
This is Topside,
do you copy, over?
88
00:04:49,555 --> 00:04:51,190
- Copy that.
89
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:56,462
(narrator): The team is working
in shallow water,
90
00:04:56,529 --> 00:04:58,998
which can be
especially hazardous.
91
00:05:21,587 --> 00:05:23,456
- Are you thinking you want
to abort the dive?
92
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:25,158
Is that what you're saying?
93
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:34,400
(Bleep) groundswell.
94
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:38,304
(narrator): In shallow waters,
the action of waves breaking
95
00:05:38,371 --> 00:05:40,673
on the shoreline
creates a surge,
96
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:43,543
a violent back and forth
movement of the water,
97
00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:45,445
making it almost impossible
for the divers
98
00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:49,048
to navigate under the surface,
or hold their position.
99
00:05:51,884 --> 00:05:54,921
- Well, do you want to come out
in deeper water, a little bit?
100
00:06:00,159 --> 00:06:03,429
- Alright, well move out.
Out, out, out.
101
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:04,997
And the boys will follow you.
102
00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:12,071
- Oh my ugh, sucky (bleep)
(bleep).
103
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:14,674
Sucks on top,
sucks on the bottom.
104
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:18,611
We've got a lot of groundswell
here. And that wind come on
105
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:20,079
against the groundswell,
and then you got
106
00:06:20,146 --> 00:06:24,350
the tide on the ebb. Conditions
in there, almost unworkable.
107
00:06:38,631 --> 00:06:41,734
(narrator): After four hours of
diving, the team has moved
108
00:06:41,801 --> 00:06:44,470
100 feet along
the rugged coastline.
109
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:48,040
So far, the search
has come up empty.
110
00:06:52,311 --> 00:06:55,815
- Are you guys still keeping on
that sou'west trajectory?
111
00:07:02,688 --> 00:07:05,224
Copy that. Take your time.
112
00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:10,630
(narrator): Frustrated by
the lack of progress,
113
00:07:10,696 --> 00:07:14,233
diver Dan Griego moves back
closer to shore.
114
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:28,948
Copy that, sand and gravel.
Keep up the search.
115
00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:32,285
(metal detector beeping)
116
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:38,090
What do you got?
117
00:07:57,343 --> 00:07:59,946
(narrator): Despite
the encouraging discovery,
118
00:08:00,012 --> 00:08:01,914
time is running out
for the divers.
119
00:08:18,364 --> 00:08:21,434
- Mark it, please, and leave
your buoy stuck to it.
120
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:34,947
(dramatic music)
121
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:39,085
Okay, we got a mark there.
We got a mark.
122
00:08:39,151 --> 00:08:41,387
Good, good, good, good, good,
good job guys.
123
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:43,322
Good way to get that marked.
124
00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:50,096
(narrator): As the team reset
for the next dive, Jim, Jeff
125
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:53,866
and Dan review the underwater
footage, hoping to identify
126
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,168
the object they've just found.
127
00:08:56,235 --> 00:08:58,471
- So, Dan. What am I
looking at here?
128
00:08:58,571 --> 00:09:00,940
- When I initially got the hit,
129
00:09:01,007 --> 00:09:04,744
uh, it's probably down about
10 inches into the sand.
130
00:09:04,777 --> 00:09:06,178
And I cleared off about
8 inches,
131
00:09:06,245 --> 00:09:08,114
and I could tell that
it's wood.
132
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:10,917
- Yeah, I can see it.
Plain as day.
133
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:13,753
That is a plank off of
the side of a ship.
134
00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:16,489
Yup. What do you
think it is?
135
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:19,058
- I think it's a plank
off the side of a ship.
136
00:09:19,158 --> 00:09:22,228
- So do I, there's no
going around it.
137
00:09:22,261 --> 00:09:25,331
This plank, what's it doing
here, all by itself?
138
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:26,866
I have no idea.
139
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:28,367
Could you lift it up?
140
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:31,203
- We'd only had one end of it
showing, so we hadn't cleared
141
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:34,340
the whole thing off and then
see how long it goes.
142
00:09:35,007 --> 00:09:37,410
- They gotta be careful with
this, eh, because it's wood,
143
00:09:37,443 --> 00:09:40,479
you know, and wood that's been
underwater for hundreds of years
144
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,214
is rather fragile.
145
00:09:42,281 --> 00:09:45,751
- One piece like that, on its
own, erratic? Uh-uh.
146
00:09:45,818 --> 00:09:48,154
That came from a bigger
section of the ship.
147
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:53,159
(narrator): Coming up.
148
00:09:55,027 --> 00:09:56,662
- It's right in there, look.
149
00:09:56,696 --> 00:10:00,099
- As Jeff and his team push into
uncharted waters,
150
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:05,137
a single artifact could
pinpoint the location
151
00:10:05,204 --> 00:10:07,006
of a lost convoy ship.
152
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:09,609
- This could potentially be
munitions storage.
153
00:10:09,675 --> 00:10:11,544
- Oh yeah, that's interesting.
154
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:14,313
- And an unexplored
stretch of seabed...
155
00:10:16,182 --> 00:10:17,316
- Yeah, I want it, Mike.
156
00:10:17,383 --> 00:10:19,552
- ...starts to give up
its treasure.
157
00:10:20,653 --> 00:10:22,989
- Holy (bleep)!
What are those?
158
00:10:23,055 --> 00:10:24,590
- Kinda look like
emeralds to me.
159
00:10:24,657 --> 00:10:26,592
(suspenseful music)
160
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,000
(tense music)
161
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:36,902
(narrator): While searching for
the Feversham convoy
162
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:40,673
in a new spot off the Death
Coast's Scatarie Island,
163
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:44,810
salvage diver Dan Griego
makes a discovery.
164
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,983
- One piece like that, on its
own, erratic? Uh-uh.
165
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:53,386
That came from a bigger section
of the ship.
166
00:10:53,419 --> 00:10:56,756
(narrator): Eager to find more
clues, Jeff sends the divers
167
00:10:56,822 --> 00:10:58,791
back down to investigate.
168
00:10:59,258 --> 00:11:03,562
- The good news is that this
spot is sandy and has less kelp.
169
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:07,066
The bad news, is that it's
right up on shore,
170
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:11,671
right up into the rocks,
and the current is a monster.
171
00:11:11,737 --> 00:11:14,707
(narrator): To aid in the
search, diver Dan Griego
172
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:16,342
is taking the scooter down,
173
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:19,178
to help uncover
more of the plank.
174
00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:24,684
- Alright. Don't (bleep) this
up. Find me something!
175
00:11:26,052 --> 00:11:27,753
(splashing)
176
00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:39,632
(narrator): Below the surface,
the clock is ticking,
177
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,768
as high tide is
fast approaching.
178
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:45,504
- We'll have less than an hour
to dive close to the rocks,
179
00:11:45,571 --> 00:11:47,273
because that's when
the tide picks back up,
180
00:11:47,339 --> 00:11:49,575
and when it does, I'm gonna
have to pull them out.
181
00:11:49,608 --> 00:11:52,845
Because then you're gonna have
the tide going against the wind.
182
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:56,182
And that's gonna create
swell and waves.
183
00:12:13,966 --> 00:12:17,136
(narrator): So as not to damage
the fragile wood, the divers use
184
00:12:17,203 --> 00:12:20,773
the propellers of the underwater
scooter to quickly and carefully
185
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,742
remove the sand and gravel,
186
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:25,544
revealing something
underneath it.
187
00:12:25,644 --> 00:12:27,313
(suspenseful music)
188
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:39,225
- That's a good sign.
189
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:43,696
- A thin layer of copper turned
green by the salt in the water,
190
00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:46,232
covers the face of the plank.
191
00:12:49,668 --> 00:12:51,971
And as more sand
is removed,
192
00:12:52,037 --> 00:12:55,708
more hidden artifacts
are revealed.
193
00:13:03,716 --> 00:13:05,351
(dramatic music)
194
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:12,558
- Notice to divers,
boat is going to retrieve Dan.
195
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,727
So keep your
eyes to the sky.
196
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:25,805
(narrator): Because the plank
is too big and too fragile,
197
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:29,408
the divers, once again,
leave it behind.
198
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:31,977
- What do you got
for me?
199
00:13:33,012 --> 00:13:35,648
(narrator): But this time,
they return with a handful
200
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:37,750
of artifacts found nearby.
201
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:43,856
A piece of loose cooper
sheathing, and a copper nail.
202
00:13:43,889 --> 00:13:46,192
- And the board that we're
looking at, it's a board,
203
00:13:46,258 --> 00:13:50,596
it's not a timber,
it is a inch and a half thick,
204
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:53,432
by maybe eight feet long
at the most.
205
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:55,301
- What about width?
206
00:13:55,401 --> 00:13:59,471
- It's probably like a 2x8,
but it is old and it is brittle,
207
00:13:59,538 --> 00:14:02,508
and it's not a timber
from a ship by any stretch.
208
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:06,278
- The plank looks way too small
to be part of the hull.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:10,149
What's this plank doing here?
I have no idea.
210
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:12,551
Yeah, this is
a mystery, alright.
211
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:14,086
- There was nothing around it.
212
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:16,755
- If somebody handed this
to me from another shipwreck,
213
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:19,992
I'd certainly say that this is
a copper sheathing nail.
214
00:14:20,059 --> 00:14:23,629
- Normally, ships of that era
were sheathed in lead.
215
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:26,232
That's another headscratcher.
216
00:14:26,298 --> 00:14:28,667
Alright, we're gonna have to
come back another day.
217
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,202
That's all we can do.
218
00:14:30,236 --> 00:14:33,138
(narrator): The team is anxious
to search for more clues,
219
00:14:33,172 --> 00:14:35,374
but the tide is now
at its highest,
220
00:14:35,441 --> 00:14:37,743
and so is the level of risk.
221
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:39,578
(waves crash)
222
00:14:39,645 --> 00:14:44,083
- When you're dealing with the
ocean, every variable counts.
223
00:14:44,183 --> 00:14:47,019
Tide is something you're always
having to fight against.
224
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:49,488
When the tide changes, it makes
the swell even bigger.
225
00:14:49,755 --> 00:14:53,225
And, we're really closer
to shore, I don't want
226
00:14:53,292 --> 00:14:55,394
to lose any of my divers
on the rocks.
227
00:14:55,427 --> 00:14:57,196
(waves crash)
228
00:14:57,263 --> 00:15:00,366
Let's go home, Johnnie,
it's gonna pick up.
229
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:05,137
I don't have time to mess
around here, every minute
230
00:15:05,204 --> 00:15:08,173
of every single dive
is precious to me.
231
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,076
But safety is always
my top priority.
232
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:17,750
(tense music)
233
00:15:17,816 --> 00:15:20,686
(narrator): Later that evening,
Jim meets with
234
00:15:20,786 --> 00:15:23,956
nautical archeologist
Annaliese Dempsey
235
00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:25,958
to help solve the mystery
of the wooden plank.
236
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:28,661
And see if it has any connection
to the convoy.
237
00:15:28,727 --> 00:15:32,464
Annaliese is a professional
sailor, and studies the history
238
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:36,302
of wooden ships
at Texas A&M University.
239
00:15:36,735 --> 00:15:38,837
- So, Annaliese,
I've got some video
240
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:42,074
that you might be interested in,
we did find a plank with
241
00:15:42,174 --> 00:15:43,742
what appears to be
copper sheathing.
242
00:15:43,809 --> 00:15:44,910
- Okay.
- But we'll let you
243
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:47,546
take a look at it.
- Yeah, let's take a look.
244
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:51,317
(dramatic music)
245
00:15:51,383 --> 00:15:52,651
Yeah.
246
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:55,955
Well, look at that, okay.
247
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:58,891
So, it looks like it's at least
four or five feet long.
248
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,193
- The thickness is pretty thin.
249
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:03,896
- Okay, it's pretty thin,
and it's clearly covered
250
00:16:03,929 --> 00:16:05,397
with some type of metal.
251
00:16:05,431 --> 00:16:08,834
The sheet metal is a little bit
interesting to me.
252
00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:11,704
This could potentially
be a powder locker,
253
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:13,672
a powder magazine,
munitions storage.
254
00:16:13,772 --> 00:16:15,174
- Oh yeah, that's interesting.
255
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:18,610
- And it's lined with metal,
so it's lined with copper,
256
00:16:18,677 --> 00:16:20,245
or it's lined with lead.
257
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:23,115
It's thin, so it's definitely
not iron. You can't store
258
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:25,451
gunpowder in anything iron,
because you don't want
259
00:16:25,517 --> 00:16:27,319
your ship to explode!
260
00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:31,323
(narrator): During the age
of sail, ships stored gunpowder
261
00:16:31,423 --> 00:16:33,892
and other explosives in
a purpose-built room called
262
00:16:33,959 --> 00:16:36,729
a powder locker, or magazine.
263
00:16:36,762 --> 00:16:40,432
For safety, it was usually
reinforced with a non-reactive
264
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:44,970
metal, like copper or lead,
which would resist sparking.
265
00:16:45,871 --> 00:16:49,274
Could any of the Feversham's
convoy ships have contained
266
00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:50,609
a powder locker?
267
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:53,879
- This was found away from the
Feversham, so we believe that
268
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:56,415
this was one of the three
transport ships.
269
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:59,151
So, why would have a merchant
ship have a powder magazine?
270
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:01,153
Well, it could be
protecting itself,
271
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:02,888
it could be
transporting weapons,
272
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:04,590
or likely holding valuables.
273
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:13,866
(tense music)
274
00:17:14,266 --> 00:17:16,902
(narrator): Building off
the previous day's discovery,
275
00:17:17,002 --> 00:17:19,138
the team heads back
to Scatarie Island,
276
00:17:19,171 --> 00:17:22,508
to continue searching
for the Feversham's convoy.
277
00:17:22,908 --> 00:17:25,210
- It's right in there, look.
278
00:17:25,277 --> 00:17:28,180
I wanna go outside the ragged
rocks there and pull in.
279
00:17:28,247 --> 00:17:30,816
- The submerged wooden plank
was uncovered
280
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:33,852
on the far side
of the western breakers,
281
00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:36,989
where powerful ocean currents
meet the jagged edge
282
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:38,490
of the Death Coast.
283
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:40,893
(waves crash)
284
00:17:44,296 --> 00:17:46,031
(splashing)
285
00:17:52,671 --> 00:17:55,307
- The plan is to start where
they found the plank,
286
00:17:55,374 --> 00:18:00,245
then spread out moving west
in search of more artifacts.
287
00:18:00,312 --> 00:18:03,549
- The current naturally pushes
down the southern side
288
00:18:03,649 --> 00:18:06,618
of Scatarie. And it'll push
anything and everything
289
00:18:06,685 --> 00:18:09,721
in its wake all to the west.
290
00:18:34,246 --> 00:18:38,383
(metal detector beeping)
291
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:47,759
- Dig it up, Mike.
I wanna know what it is.
292
00:18:50,996 --> 00:18:53,198
(narrator): While Mike Haas
begins to investigate
293
00:18:53,265 --> 00:18:54,967
a hit on his metal detector,
294
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,737
the other divers
continue their search.
295
00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:06,311
(metal detector beeping)
296
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:14,286
- Copy that, Griego.
He's got a hit, too.
297
00:19:14,353 --> 00:19:15,787
Now we're getting somewhere.
298
00:19:15,854 --> 00:19:18,190
Talk to me here, fellas.
What do you got?
299
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,668
Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm.
300
00:19:29,701 --> 00:19:31,436
That's some good news.
301
00:19:36,909 --> 00:19:39,211
(Jeff): Copy that.
He's got concretion, too.
302
00:19:39,278 --> 00:19:40,512
We're into something.
303
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,749
(narrator): Over decades,
metals from the shipwreck
304
00:19:43,815 --> 00:19:45,918
corrode in the salty
ocean water,
305
00:19:45,951 --> 00:19:47,886
forming oxides and rusts.
306
00:19:47,986 --> 00:19:49,922
Sediments settle
onto the material,
307
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,457
and calcium carbonate
from the saltwater
308
00:19:52,491 --> 00:19:54,092
binds the components together.
309
00:19:54,126 --> 00:19:57,262
Barnacles and coral contribute
to the mass of the object.
310
00:19:57,329 --> 00:20:00,599
The result is
a rock-like concretion,
311
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:02,367
that may encase artifacts,
312
00:20:02,467 --> 00:20:06,772
often preserving them as
time capsules beneath the sea.
313
00:20:06,838 --> 00:20:09,107
(metal detector beeping)
314
00:20:14,012 --> 00:20:21,153
- We have a massive field of
concretion here, it is gigantic!
315
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:24,590
And you know what that means?
It means shipwreck.
316
00:20:25,257 --> 00:20:29,127
- As these objects form,
small items like coins can
317
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:33,899
be fused together, and preserved
in the cement-like crust.
318
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:37,469
- Break it off, can you
break it off?
319
00:20:39,104 --> 00:20:42,608
In my experience,
concretion beds are often
320
00:20:42,674 --> 00:20:46,211
the repositories
for the valuables.
321
00:20:46,311 --> 00:20:49,948
That concretion
could hide treasure.
322
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:58,457
- While Jeff and the team
try to surface the concretions,
323
00:20:58,523 --> 00:21:00,993
back at base camp in Louisbourg,
324
00:21:01,093 --> 00:21:03,562
team archeologist Jim Sinclair
is meeting with
325
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:08,467
historian Jenna Lahey. Jim hopes
Jenna may be able to connect
326
00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:11,069
the copper plank, believed to be
part of a powder room,
327
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:14,172
to one of the convoy ships.
328
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:15,741
- So what have you got
for us, Jenna?
329
00:21:15,841 --> 00:21:18,577
- Yeah, so we've been looking
into the transport ships
330
00:21:18,644 --> 00:21:21,179
that accompanied
the Feversham in 1711,
331
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:23,682
The Mary, the Joseph
and the Neptune.
332
00:21:23,749 --> 00:21:25,951
And found the Neptune's
letter of marque.
333
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:27,019
- Wow.
334
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:29,821
- This letter of Marque
is an official warrant
335
00:21:29,888 --> 00:21:32,557
from the Admiralty,
authorizing the Neptune
336
00:21:32,591 --> 00:21:35,294
to set upon by force of arms
other enemy vessels.
337
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:38,463
And to seize their goods,
monies and merchandises.
338
00:21:38,563 --> 00:21:43,035
Essentially, giving it a license
to steal from other ships.
339
00:21:44,102 --> 00:21:47,039
So, if the Neptune could engage
in privateering,
340
00:21:47,105 --> 00:21:49,741
it likely carried
an arsenal of weapons.
341
00:21:49,841 --> 00:21:51,910
Could this copper plank
be a remnant
342
00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:53,845
of the Neptune's powder room,
343
00:21:53,912 --> 00:21:56,415
where munitions and gunpowder
were stored?
344
00:21:56,448 --> 00:22:00,752
And was the Neptune seizing
riches from enemy ships?
345
00:22:01,386 --> 00:22:05,590
- A really interesting part
of this story is that
346
00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:10,529
one year later, in 1712,
a ship called the HMS Sapphire
347
00:22:10,595 --> 00:22:13,398
was dispatched to Cape Breton,
in order to conduct
348
00:22:13,465 --> 00:22:16,735
a salvage operation.
But not only the Feversham,
349
00:22:16,768 --> 00:22:20,205
also the Neptune as well.
- Wow.
350
00:22:20,238 --> 00:22:22,407
- They knew all of the survivors
from these shipwrecks
351
00:22:22,474 --> 00:22:25,110
had already been sent back
to New England,
352
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:26,745
so they certainly weren't there
353
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:28,313
to collect people.
- Right.
354
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:30,449
- Right? So they were there
to collect the valuables
355
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:32,918
from these ships.
- Holy smokes!
356
00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:43,161
- Meanwhile, back on
the water, the dive team
357
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:46,932
continues to work
the concretion field.
358
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:53,271
- We're into something.
359
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:04,483
- Copy that.
360
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:10,989
Unfortunately, a concretion can
be very, very tough to recover.
361
00:23:27,439 --> 00:23:30,275
- Dive after dive,
the team struggles to extract
362
00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:33,678
any of the heavy pieces
embedded in the sea floor.
363
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:39,084
- It's really frustrating,
for not only them,
364
00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:41,153
but for me as well, because
they spend a lot of time
365
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:44,456
digging out a hit, and they use
their air up faster.
366
00:23:50,796 --> 00:23:52,297
- Copy that.
367
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,934
That's a colossal pain
in my ass.
368
00:23:56,601 --> 00:23:58,203
(narrator): Coming up.
369
00:24:01,506 --> 00:24:02,707
- Yeah, I want it, Mike.
370
00:24:05,043 --> 00:24:07,746
- You never know what could be
inside of a concretion.
371
00:24:07,813 --> 00:24:10,348
Holy (bleep)!
(laughing)
372
00:24:10,415 --> 00:24:11,583
Looks like treasure.
373
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:19,825
(tense music)
374
00:24:20,425 --> 00:24:23,328
(narrator): While searching
the seabed near Scatarie Island,
375
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:26,832
Jeff MacKinnon's team has
discovered a field of concretion
376
00:24:26,898 --> 00:24:28,500
that might be hiding artifacts
377
00:24:28,567 --> 00:24:31,203
from one of the Feversham's
convoy ships.
378
00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:39,578
But despite their efforts,
the divers are unable to remove
379
00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:43,615
anything small enough
to bring to the surface.
380
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:49,087
- Copy that.
381
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:52,591
- As the sun sets
on a warm day of diving,
382
00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:54,659
the team must press pause
383
00:24:54,726 --> 00:24:57,462
on their attempt to salvage
any of the concretion.
384
00:24:57,796 --> 00:25:00,899
If there's any treasure
to be found inside,
385
00:25:00,966 --> 00:25:03,235
it will have to wait
another day.
386
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:11,776
Later that night,
387
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:15,347
Jeff and the team meet
to discuss the situation.
388
00:25:16,281 --> 00:25:20,752
- So we got ourselves into
a pretty nice mess this time.
389
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:24,155
It is a huge concretion field.
390
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:27,792
Well, that's a gift if I've
ever heard of one.
391
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:30,161
So we're right here
on the other side.
392
00:25:30,228 --> 00:25:34,499
And Dan, how far would you say
that field extended?
393
00:25:34,566 --> 00:25:38,803
- It's actually from close in,
on the shore,
394
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:40,572
and then works it way
all the way out.
395
00:25:40,639 --> 00:25:43,575
- So that would be what,
a 10-year project
396
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:44,976
if we were to set up right now?
397
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:47,445
Obviously, we don't have
10 years.
398
00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:49,514
I wanna find loose pieces
of concretion,
399
00:25:49,581 --> 00:25:51,049
because I don't want to tamper
with the bed
400
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:53,752
that's on the bottom
of the ocean right now.
401
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:59,224
A bed this big could take,
literally, years to do properly.
402
00:25:59,291 --> 00:26:03,528
We know what the concretion
from the Feversham looked like,
403
00:26:03,595 --> 00:26:06,264
it was clumps
of coins everywhere.
404
00:26:06,331 --> 00:26:08,934
So, if that holds true,
405
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,705
then this site should be
laden with goodies.
406
00:26:16,641 --> 00:26:19,210
- Keep in mind, right up here
on the Feversham,
407
00:26:19,277 --> 00:26:22,147
just down the road a piece,
is where that ring came from.
408
00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:25,216
That nine-emerald,
blue emerald ring in gold?
409
00:26:25,317 --> 00:26:30,121
- In 1996, a team led
by Jeff's father salvaged
410
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:33,258
remnants of the Feversham,
including concretion that proved
411
00:26:33,358 --> 00:26:36,895
to be hiding coins, jewellery
and other treasure.
412
00:26:36,962 --> 00:26:39,931
- And that was in a piece about
the size of your fist,
413
00:26:39,998 --> 00:26:43,201
nobody knew it was there, our
conservator x-rayed everything
414
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:45,337
in the lab back in the day,
and lo and behold, here's this
415
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:49,174
beautiful, perfect ring
with nine blue emeralds in it.
416
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:50,742
Just-just a beautiful piece.
417
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:52,210
- That little tiny piece
of concretion
418
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:54,079
you were working and found
the gold earring inside.
419
00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:56,247
- Yeah, back in 2010.
420
00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:59,050
- Right. It's amazing what that
stuff can hide.
421
00:26:59,884 --> 00:27:03,622
- You never know what could be
inside. It could be coins,
422
00:27:03,688 --> 00:27:05,256
jewels, or some other treasure.
423
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:07,993
You gotta bring it up,
and you gotta go through it.
424
00:27:08,026 --> 00:27:10,762
There's tens of millions
of dollars worth of treasure
425
00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:13,398
that has never been discovered
on this fleet.
426
00:27:13,498 --> 00:27:16,267
And I really think
that right here,
427
00:27:16,301 --> 00:27:20,038
that's the start of our
unraveling of this mystery.
428
00:27:22,207 --> 00:27:24,676
(suspenseful music)
429
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:28,680
- The next day, the team returns
to the location they hope
430
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:31,650
is the site of the Neptune.
431
00:27:44,429 --> 00:27:46,331
Find me something good.
432
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,637
We need to find pieces that have
broken loose from the bottom.
433
00:27:52,704 --> 00:27:56,174
And that way, we can determine
what's inside of it.
434
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:58,276
That way, we can see whether
or not we can identify
435
00:27:58,343 --> 00:28:02,781
the ship it came off of, or find
some clue that might lead us
436
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:06,251
in the right direction
as to what ship it came from.
437
00:28:07,085 --> 00:28:10,855
This could possibly be from
the Neptune. And just maybe,
438
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:13,224
we'll get lucky
and find some treasure.
439
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:24,703
- Copy that.
440
00:28:26,671 --> 00:28:29,774
(metal detector beeping)
441
00:28:36,681 --> 00:28:38,783
- Copy that, Griego.
442
00:28:38,850 --> 00:28:41,086
- The concretion forms
around iron artifacts
443
00:28:41,152 --> 00:28:43,621
deposited on the ocean floor.
444
00:28:43,688 --> 00:28:46,858
It's this iron the detectors
are picking up.
445
00:28:47,692 --> 00:28:49,127
(metal detector beeping)
446
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:58,002
- What do you got?
447
00:29:03,208 --> 00:29:04,676
- Copy that.
448
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:08,413
(metal detector beeping)
449
00:29:17,455 --> 00:29:20,558
- There's no shortage of hits.
But so far,
450
00:29:20,625 --> 00:29:24,262
none of the pieces are small
enough to bring to the surface.
451
00:29:39,277 --> 00:29:41,179
(Jeff): That's what
we're looking for!
452
00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:51,256
- Yeah, I want it, Mike.
453
00:30:05,003 --> 00:30:07,605
- You know concretion,
it's almost like
454
00:30:07,672 --> 00:30:09,941
a little wrapped gift.
455
00:30:10,008 --> 00:30:13,745
You know, you don't know what's
inside till you open it up.
456
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:15,446
And it could have
anything in it.
457
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:24,022
(suspenseful music)
458
00:30:24,122 --> 00:30:26,691
(metal detector beeping)
459
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,796
(narrator): While searching
for the wreck of the Neptune...
460
00:30:35,633 --> 00:30:36,434
- Copy that.
461
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,303
- ...the dive team
finally succeeds
462
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:39,571
in extracting a piece
463
00:30:39,637 --> 00:30:42,707
of concretion small enough
to bring back.
464
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:48,780
The sample is still
too heavy for the divers
465
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:53,117
to carry on their own, so they
place it in an inflatable bag,
466
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:55,053
to float to the surface.
467
00:30:59,991 --> 00:31:03,862
(Haas): Chris and Jason
are gonna haul the bag.
468
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,666
(splashing)
469
00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:13,204
(dramatic music)
470
00:31:13,271 --> 00:31:15,707
- This is heavy.
- Yeah, how heavy is it?
471
00:31:15,773 --> 00:31:17,408
- Heavy! 40 lbs?
472
00:31:17,475 --> 00:31:19,644
- You ready, pass it up?
Drop it off from the buoy.
473
00:31:19,744 --> 00:31:20,912
- Alright.
474
00:31:20,979 --> 00:31:24,048
- Hohoho, would you look at you!
475
00:31:24,115 --> 00:31:26,517
Beautiful.
- Wow, it's huge.
476
00:31:26,584 --> 00:31:28,286
- That's pretty cool.
- Mm-hmm.
477
00:31:28,386 --> 00:31:31,289
- What's cool is how
concretion holds things.
478
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:33,791
How this was inside
the concretion,
479
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:36,327
- Yup.
- And this holds on to it.
480
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:37,729
That's why you gotta dig through
481
00:31:37,829 --> 00:31:39,864
all that to find out
if it's holding anything.
482
00:31:39,931 --> 00:31:42,200
- Oh, there could be all kinds
of stuff in here.
483
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:43,902
We have no idea what
could be in this thing.
484
00:31:44,002 --> 00:31:47,238
This is big. This could have,
10, 15, 20 different items
485
00:31:47,272 --> 00:31:48,573
in there, for all we know.
486
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,841
- That weighed a ton.
487
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:51,175
- That's concretion.
- That's a rock.
488
00:31:51,276 --> 00:31:52,911
- I'm sure there's a bunch
of rocks.
489
00:31:52,977 --> 00:31:54,545
- It's kind of arced,
like it might be--
490
00:31:54,612 --> 00:31:56,214
- This is what I thought
was the iron, yeah.
491
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:57,315
- Ah.
- That's iron.
492
00:31:57,382 --> 00:32:00,518
- Is it?
- Yeah, it is. Absolutely.
493
00:32:01,185 --> 00:32:02,887
It's big.
494
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:05,290
But what would it be?
What would that iron piece be?
495
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:07,358
- It's up to you to figure it
out in the lab.
496
00:32:07,425 --> 00:32:09,527
- I don't know, it's kind
of arced, like a cannon.
497
00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:11,663
See how it arcs here?
498
00:32:11,729 --> 00:32:14,432
Can see it kind of arcs around.
499
00:32:14,465 --> 00:32:18,336
So could that be a piece
of the cannon?
500
00:32:18,403 --> 00:32:19,671
- Anything's possible.
501
00:32:19,737 --> 00:32:21,506
- I think we're really on to
something here.
502
00:32:21,539 --> 00:32:23,274
- Yeah, me too.
503
00:32:23,341 --> 00:32:25,543
That's something
interesting for the lab.
504
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:41,225
(narrator): As night falls,
team archeologist Jim Sinclair
505
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:42,961
takes the first
pieces of concretion
506
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:46,497
to the diagnostics lab
to examine them.
507
00:32:47,432 --> 00:32:49,567
Jim is looking for clues
to see if the samples
508
00:32:49,634 --> 00:32:52,103
are from the site
of the Neptune.
509
00:32:52,737 --> 00:32:55,039
To protect whatever
artifacts may have been
510
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:59,477
fused together inside,
he has to carefully chip away
511
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:01,913
at the cement-like concrete.
512
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:07,418
- I generally just do tapping
with a small hammer.
513
00:33:07,518 --> 00:33:10,621
Sometimes, like if I see what
the artifact is,
514
00:33:10,688 --> 00:33:12,056
I'll have pneumatic chisels
515
00:33:12,123 --> 00:33:14,258
and stuff like that to take
everything off, but you know.
516
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:17,996
Mechanical cleaning is about
the fastest way to do that.
517
00:33:22,433 --> 00:33:25,803
- Wow. That's cool.
518
00:33:25,870 --> 00:33:28,639
- Buried in the concretion
is what appears to be
519
00:33:28,706 --> 00:33:31,609
a musket ball. A piece
of evidence consistent
520
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:33,678
with the theory that
the metal-clad plank
521
00:33:33,745 --> 00:33:36,881
may have come from
a ship's powder magazine.
522
00:33:44,489 --> 00:33:46,991
- Ooh! What is that?
523
00:33:47,091 --> 00:33:50,495
- After an hour of slow
and steady hammering,
524
00:33:50,528 --> 00:33:52,597
Jim's patience pays off.
525
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:55,733
- Sometimes when you're
working on concretion,
526
00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:58,302
it's a lot of work and effort,
and you come up empty.
527
00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:01,506
But sometimes,
you hit the jackpot.
528
00:34:04,976 --> 00:34:06,644
Holy smokes!
529
00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:11,749
Ah, that's a nice
little cannon ball!
530
00:34:13,151 --> 00:34:14,952
It's a really big deal.
531
00:34:15,820 --> 00:34:19,457
If you're finding cannonballs
from a shipwreck, it's probably
532
00:34:19,490 --> 00:34:21,292
a good bet that they're
from a privateer.
533
00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:28,099
- Encouraged by the cannonball,
Jim calls Jeff into the lab.
534
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:30,268
- How you doing, man?
535
00:34:30,334 --> 00:34:32,537
- Good, pal.
What do you got for me?
536
00:34:33,471 --> 00:34:34,572
Oh, look at that.
537
00:34:34,672 --> 00:34:37,275
- Let me just wash it off a bit,
538
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:41,679
see if there's any markings
or recognizable stuff on it.
539
00:34:56,961 --> 00:34:59,063
What are you seeing there, Jeff?
540
00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:01,365
- Well I guarantee you
this isn't off the Feversham
541
00:35:01,432 --> 00:35:03,935
because there's no
broad arrow on it.
542
00:35:04,001 --> 00:35:05,369
- Ah.
543
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:09,640
- The broad arrow is a stylized
symbol of an arrowhead
544
00:35:09,707 --> 00:35:11,976
used for centuries
by the British Government,
545
00:35:12,043 --> 00:35:15,613
to mark guns and ammunition
used by the Royal Navy.
546
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,416
And it was a capital offense
for it to be used
547
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:20,852
by non-military ships.
548
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:27,091
- This is probably from
one of the transports.
549
00:35:27,191 --> 00:35:29,760
And that, and you've
got a musket ball here,
550
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:31,629
- Yup.
- Leads me to believe that
551
00:35:31,729 --> 00:35:33,331
they were protecting something.
552
00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:36,334
Finding a cannonball like this
fits with the theory that
553
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,938
this ship was armed. Therefore,
it had a powder magazine.
554
00:35:41,005 --> 00:35:44,275
And if that's the case, it could
possibly be the Neptune.
555
00:35:44,342 --> 00:35:49,247
In my mind, what would you
protect? Not barrels of pig fat.
556
00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:54,986
(dramatic music)
557
00:35:56,254 --> 00:35:59,257
- With more evidence
they may be on to the Neptune,
558
00:35:59,323 --> 00:36:03,227
Jeff leads the team back to
the concretion field once again.
559
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:11,569
- Alright. So what I wanna do,
is go from there and crosscut
560
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:15,039
it on the way in.
There's lots more down there.
561
00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:17,141
(splashing)
562
00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:19,544
And I'm gonna find out what it
is. That's the treasure hunter
563
00:36:19,644 --> 00:36:21,979
inside of me,
that's what's talking now.
564
00:36:52,376 --> 00:36:54,078
(metal detector beeping)
565
00:36:58,683 --> 00:37:01,519
- Attaboy! Bring it to Daddy.
566
00:37:01,586 --> 00:37:03,688
(narrator): Coming up.
567
00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:09,894
- What have we here? Holy crap!
I was not expecting to find
568
00:37:09,927 --> 00:37:11,796
emeralds off the coast
of Scatarie Island.
569
00:37:11,862 --> 00:37:14,232
- Holy (bleep)!
(laughing)
570
00:37:20,037 --> 00:37:21,806
(tense music)
571
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:24,375
(narrator): With just two weeks
left in their search
572
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:27,178
for shipwrecks along
the Death Coast...
573
00:37:31,716 --> 00:37:34,085
- ...Jeff and the team have
returned to the site
574
00:37:34,151 --> 00:37:37,488
they believe could be the final
resting place of the Neptune.
575
00:37:37,521 --> 00:37:40,591
And the treasure
it may have been carrying.
576
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:45,196
- You gonna bring that up, is it
detached? What do you think?
577
00:37:54,238 --> 00:37:56,874
- Copy that. Move on,
find something else.
578
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:13,291
Please do. Bring a chunk anyway.
579
00:38:17,028 --> 00:38:20,998
Copy that. Well, I want that
spot marked, Dan, I want it
580
00:38:21,065 --> 00:38:22,867
M-A-R-K-E-D.
581
00:38:33,110 --> 00:38:35,780
(suspenseful music)
582
00:38:36,914 --> 00:38:40,184
(narrator): Over the next six
hours, the divers continue
583
00:38:40,284 --> 00:38:43,254
marking and lifting
any loose pieces.
584
00:38:45,289 --> 00:38:46,657
With daylight dwindling,
585
00:38:46,757 --> 00:38:51,128
they make a last-minute push
to secure all they can.
586
00:38:51,529 --> 00:38:53,931
- Divers, you got
five minutes left.
587
00:38:55,733 --> 00:38:57,735
I know it doesn't look like
much now,
588
00:38:57,768 --> 00:39:00,938
but who knows what
could be in that concretion?
589
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:05,176
(laughing)
590
00:39:05,242 --> 00:39:07,278
Holy frig!
591
00:39:16,087 --> 00:39:18,522
(narrator): That evening,
Jim inspects the day's haul
592
00:39:18,556 --> 00:39:22,626
to see what, if anything,
it might contain.
593
00:39:26,797 --> 00:39:28,966
- Every shipwreck that we worked
on has a story to tell.
594
00:39:28,999 --> 00:39:33,304
The remnants of those stories,
those little pieces of the past,
595
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:34,839
are sitting on
the bottom of the ocean.
596
00:39:34,939 --> 00:39:38,576
(tense music)
597
00:39:40,745 --> 00:39:42,513
What have we here?
598
00:39:45,249 --> 00:39:47,685
That's a...
599
00:39:49,053 --> 00:39:52,590
What are you doing here?
Holy crap!
600
00:39:58,896 --> 00:40:03,667
Beautiful. I'm gonna give Jeff
a call. I was not expecting
601
00:40:03,701 --> 00:40:06,637
to find emeralds off the
coast of Scatarie Island.
602
00:40:07,104 --> 00:40:09,807
Jeff!
- What do you got, pal?
603
00:40:09,907 --> 00:40:11,475
- Take a look at that.
604
00:40:15,379 --> 00:40:18,215
- Holy (bleep)!
(laughing)
605
00:40:18,282 --> 00:40:19,650
What are those?
606
00:40:19,717 --> 00:40:21,652
- They kind of look like
emeralds to me.
607
00:40:21,685 --> 00:40:24,088
- They come out of this?
- They came out of this.
608
00:40:24,121 --> 00:40:25,990
What did I tell ya? Huh?
609
00:40:26,056 --> 00:40:27,291
- There's treasure everywhere!
610
00:40:27,358 --> 00:40:29,360
- In Cape Breton, there is!
- Yeah.
611
00:40:31,162 --> 00:40:35,633
(narrator): Emeralds are 20
times rarer than diamonds.
612
00:40:35,666 --> 00:40:40,538
A single emerald smaller than
a pea can be worth over $10,000.
613
00:40:40,638 --> 00:40:43,007
In the early 18th century,
614
00:40:43,073 --> 00:40:45,943
up to 95% of the world's
emeralds were mined
615
00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:49,313
in Colombia, and were regularly
shipped back to Europe
616
00:40:49,380 --> 00:40:51,148
on Spanish treasure ships.
617
00:40:51,215 --> 00:40:56,387
Making them prime targets
for piracy and privateering.
618
00:40:58,122 --> 00:41:00,791
- I know Dad took diamonds
off of the Feversham,
619
00:41:00,858 --> 00:41:02,693
but this is so far down
the coastline,
620
00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:03,961
this is something
absolutely new.
621
00:41:04,028 --> 00:41:06,564
I told you there was
all kinds of treasure here.
622
00:41:06,597 --> 00:41:09,567
- Yeah. Well, I'll tell you
what. That to me,
623
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:11,669
looks like treasure.
- Is there anymore in there?
624
00:41:11,735 --> 00:41:14,205
- Well, I mean we're gonna
have to look.
625
00:41:14,271 --> 00:41:15,506
- That's a rock.
(laughing)
626
00:41:15,539 --> 00:41:16,874
That's a rock.
627
00:41:16,941 --> 00:41:20,344
When a ship breaks apart,
it dumps all of its contents
628
00:41:20,411 --> 00:41:21,912
to the bottom of the sea.
629
00:41:22,012 --> 00:41:24,815
And whatever treasure
she had aboard of her.
630
00:41:25,883 --> 00:41:28,652
Yeah, keep looking.
631
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,055
That, look. Right there.
- Yup.
632
00:41:31,121 --> 00:41:32,523
- There's another one there.
633
00:41:32,590 --> 00:41:34,124
- Oh yeah, sure is!
- See?
634
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:37,962
I'm a treasure hunter,
and I've just found treasure!
635
00:41:37,995 --> 00:41:41,765
- We found five emeralds so far,
and we just started doing this.
636
00:41:41,832 --> 00:41:43,634
- I knew this site was gonna
talk to us,
637
00:41:43,701 --> 00:41:46,103
and now she's talking. Look,
there's another one there, look.
638
00:41:46,170 --> 00:41:47,338
- Yup, sure is.
639
00:41:47,404 --> 00:41:49,206
- Six.
640
00:41:50,207 --> 00:41:52,643
That, look, right there.
- Yup!
641
00:41:56,413 --> 00:41:58,215
- Is this one?
642
00:42:00,117 --> 00:42:03,420
- Sure looks like it.
- Yeah, it is. That is seven.
643
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:05,055
(laughing)
644
00:42:05,122 --> 00:42:06,524
Those are beautiful.
645
00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:07,691
This right here,
646
00:42:07,758 --> 00:42:09,860
this is what we're looking for.
- Oh yeah.
647
00:42:09,894 --> 00:42:12,897
- If there's emeralds in there,
there's other things in there.
648
00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:15,666
Coins, and lots of them.
And more emeralds,
649
00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:17,601
and more jewels,
and more everything.
650
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:19,203
And I'm gonna get it.
651
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:22,373
(narrator): Are the emeralds
from the long lost Neptune?
652
00:42:22,439 --> 00:42:26,911
The team could be on the cusp
of a ground-breaking discovery.
653
00:42:26,977 --> 00:42:29,880
But they'll have to
work quickly.
654
00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:33,083
The door to the Death Coast
is closing, and with it,
655
00:42:33,150 --> 00:42:36,453
the chance to find anymore
of the privateer's plunder
656
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,989
that might be hidden
on the sea floor.
657
00:42:41,058 --> 00:42:44,828
(narrator): Next,
on The Death Coast.
658
00:42:44,929 --> 00:42:47,064
- The storm's heading
our way, fellas.
659
00:42:47,164 --> 00:42:48,465
(splashing)
660
00:42:48,532 --> 00:42:52,036
- As the weather continues
to get worse,
661
00:42:56,707 --> 00:43:00,544
- The team discovers a
collection of mysterious items.
662
00:43:00,611 --> 00:43:01,979
- Holy moly.
663
00:43:03,213 --> 00:43:04,715
- Wow.
664
00:43:06,817 --> 00:43:09,553
- Attaboy! There is one of these
shipwrecks here.
665
00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:12,289
(dramatic music)
