Off the coast of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska lies an area infamously known as “The Death Coast.” Thousands of ships have met their end in these treacherous waters, and with them, fortunes in gold and priceless artifacts. This Tuesday, on History, Jeff Mackinnon and his intrepid team continue their search for three of these lost vessels – the Mary, the Joseph, and the Neptune – hoping to unearth more than just historical relics.
Mackinnon, who secured exclusive diving rights to the area after a protracted legal battle, works against the clock. He has a mere 12-week window to explore the wrecks before the notoriously dangerous waters become impassable. And this week, the stakes get even higher with the discovery of an unusual artifact, potentially hinting at a history of theft and hidden riches. Could Mackinnon be on the verge of finding a field of stolen treasure?
Tune in to History on Tuesday, April 29th at 10:03 PM ET to see if the team strikes gold – literally.
