Dive Detectives
Warships Down
S1 E7:
At the bottom of Lake Ontario lie two icy gravesites known as The Hamilton and The Scourge. These wooden schooners served in the War of 1812, but were victims of a violent storm that claimed the lives of 80 sailors. Two centuries later, the Dive Detectives embark on the first scientific mission to enter the wrecks in hopes of revealing why the ships sank and why so many men perished. One giant obstacle stands in their way. The site is off limits to divers. Penetrating the vessels will require a remotely operated $350,000 camera…and one very steady hand.
