Beneath
the oceans of the world lie countless shipwrecks - time capsules -
waiting to be discovered and explored.
A
special team of scientists is on a mission to find these precious
cargoes of the past and unlock the secrets to their underwater world.
Shipwreck Detectives series two features three 54 minute episodes
screening Thursdays at 8.30pm from January 18, 2007.
In
the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Shipwreck Detective Jeremy Green is
on his latest mission. He's in pursuit of the wrecks of two ships lost
at a critical time of World War II - a time Churchill called the most
dangerous moment - the Battle of Ceylon.
Jeremy's
on the hunt for the British aircraft carrier HMS Hermes, and her escort,
the Australian destroyer HMAS Vampire. To commemorate the anniversary of
the sinking, the expedition has been timed to coincide with the arrival
of veterans from both the Hermes and Vampire.
The
hope is the team can find both ships before the veterans arrive. |
