The clock is ticking down on The Death Coast, and this week Jeff Mackinnon faces a reckoning with family history as he returns to the wreck of Le Chameau, a treasure-laden French frigate. Airing Saturday at 1 PM ET on History, Unfinished Business (Season 1, Episode 8) finds Mackinnon back at the site of his father’s decades-long quest to uncover the ship’s elusive stern—and the remaining fortune rumored to be buried within.
This time, Mackinnon hopes to finish what his father started, but a series of unexpected finds threatens to derail his carefully laid plan. With time running out before the treacherous North Atlantic waters become impassable, the team faces a do-or-die decision: make one final push to find the Chameau’s lost treasure, or risk losing it forever to the unforgiving ocean.
The Death Coast has framed its entire first season around this very dilemma—the allure of historical mystery set against the stark realities of the North Atlantic. With its dramatic location and even more dramatic family stakes, the season’s penultimate episode could provide some long-awaited answers—or sink the Mackinnons’ dream for good.
“The Death Coast” airs Saturday, June 7 at 1:00 PM ET on History.
