00:00Upside, Griego. Just digging and putting as much stuff in my pouch as I can.
00:11Keep searching. Hurry up, though. Storm is a-brewin'.
00:18Upside, this washing machine just put a hole in my dry seat for sure.
00:23Do you need to abort your dive, Griego?
00:27I'm fighting the current.
00:28I'm going to live in visibility. You can tell that it's going to f**k.
00:35It's known as the Death Coast, an area of rough sea in the North Atlantic that's claimed more than 6,000 vessels.
00:47Casting those aboard and treasure into its turbulent depths.
00:51We're going to turn this thing around. Here we go.
00:55Gold, silver, and other priceless objects from the wrecked ships.
01:02Oh my God, you're not going to believe this.
01:04Lies scattered across the ocean floor.
01:07Gold coin right there.
01:08That is gorgeous.
01:09But salvaging here has been banned for more than a decade, thanks to rampant looting.
01:16Storm is a-brewin'.
01:21Whoa, boy!
01:24After a long battle, third-generation shipwreck hunter Jeff McKinnon has won the exclusive rights to dive in these treacherous waters.
01:33Dive!
01:34But he only has eight weeks to do it.
01:37Are you okay?
01:39Can Jeff and his team find the treasure he seeks?
01:42Find me something.
01:43Before the stormy waters of the Death Coast.
01:46It's time for us to get out of here.
01:47Hold on, man. Hold on, yeah.
01:49Make diving impossible.
01:54After nearly a week of rough seas, Jeff McKinnon gathers his team at base camp in Lewisburg, Nova Scotia, to discuss their dive options.
02:11With only a few weeks left in their dive season, every day counts.
02:16Here we are, posed with another problem.
02:19We are running out of time.
02:20Especially with the weather the way it's been.
02:22I mean, we have been nailed here.
02:24We are facing a decision.
02:27The Fever Shamp site is producing.
02:29I really am impressed with the amount of material that we are recovering.
02:33Five days ago, while diving on the Fever Shamp site...
02:37Top side, I have recovered an artifact.
02:39Jeff and the team found a sword pommel, confirming his theory that the current is pushing smaller items from the wreck in towards Scattery Island.
02:49Then, the team found evidence of a potentially valuable discovery in the same area.
02:55Upside, I believe I have a coin.
02:58He said a coin.
02:59That's what I heard.
03:01Now, the expert said there might have been a New England coin.
03:03That is incredible, because that's worth a fortune.
03:06As the team moved further west, they discovered artifacts that could change the focus of the search.
03:12I don't know what this is.
03:14This is not Fever Shamp.
03:15This is something else.
03:18In my experience on the Fever Shamp, all of the ship fittings were red brass.
03:22These pins that we're finding, this could be another shipwreck.
03:26We may be onto one of the other ships in the convoy.
03:29The Mary and the Joseph and the Neptune have never been found.
03:33In 1711, the Fever Shamp set sail from New York to join the British invasion of Quebec.
03:41Supporting the Fever Shamp were three transport ships, the Mary, the Joseph, and the Neptune,
03:48each of which was believed to be carrying significant funds to support the invasion.
03:54Those ships would have been carrying all kinds of pay for that incursion into Quebec,
03:59and that material was never found.
04:02The Mary, Joseph, and the Neptune were carrying tons of gold and artifacts.
04:08That means that there's a ton of their money sitting on the bottom as well.
04:12We obviously have to make a decision here.
04:14Do we stay on the Fever Shamp, or should we proceed westward and chase the other ships?
04:19I don't know, Jeff.
04:20I think we should stick where we're at.
04:21The reason is we're getting a lot of volume here,
04:24more artifacts per dive than we have in all the other places we've been.
04:28We finally have the bathymetrics, and these cuts are producing.
04:31I mean, we finally actually have something that we're seeing and going out and getting, so...
04:35I think it deserves another day.
04:37I'm kind of leaning the other way.
04:38I agree with what you're saying, but I think we still need to move a little bit further west.
04:42And my reasoning is, is that we're finding a lot of little, tiny, small artifacts where we are right now.
04:48There's nothing there definitive that says, you know, major shipwreck.
04:51Where are the cannons?
04:52Where are the anchors?
04:53Where are the windlisters, the captains, that kind of stuff?
04:55Where is that?
04:57We could spend the next hundred years pulling pins out of this place.
05:00I need something more definitive that ties into this fleet,
05:04and I know in my heart of hearts that the Mary and the Joseph and the Neptune are further west.
05:11I am a shipwreck hunter, and the fact that these ships have never been located is a salvager's dream.
05:18We're going to go to the other side of the Western Breaker then, close to the rocks.
05:23That is what we're going to do.
05:33Okay, let's go!
05:35We've got to make this day count.
05:37Time is of the essence here.
05:38With a break in the weather, Jeff and the team are finally able to resume their search for the Fever Shams' ill-fated convoy.
05:47Kick her head, Johnny.
05:48Yeah, I am.
05:52October 7th, 1711.
05:55A relentless gale drives the Fever Sham at its convoy toward the treacherous shores of Scattery Island.
06:01The Fever Sham strikes first and begins to sink.
06:05Its crew bears witness to a harrowing scene.
06:08The Mary, the Neptune, and the Joseph, one by one, succumbing to the island's deadly coast.
06:19We're going down there on the other side of the ragged rocks.
06:23This is not an established area.
06:26This is something absolutely new.
06:27Thirteen vatum.
06:30There come my dive.
06:32Though the waters are calm for now, Jeff knows all too well that the same brutal winds that have sent hundreds of ships to their doom along this coast can rise without warning.
06:42What's the worst wind on Scattery?
06:45Southwest wind.
06:46It can rip my divers into a pile of breakers and a pile of reef systems.
06:51You see the hatches rocks?
06:56Right ahead of you?
06:57Yeah.
06:57We've got to go on the outside of them.
06:59Well, we'll get as close as we can.
07:01It can be a disaster.
07:04We have to take our time and make sure this is done very safely.
07:14All right.
07:15That right there is where she comes up.
07:17There's only four feet of water there at the best of times.
07:19Search and dive from there to there.
07:22Then our next dive will be there, unless you guys find me something good over here.
07:25All right.
07:26Goodbye.
07:26The plan is to search along the rocky southwestern edge of Scattery Island, pushing west from the Fever Shams wreck site, in hopes of finding any clues that could lead to one of the lost convoy ships.
07:52Topside, do you read me?
07:54Happy.
07:54We're on bottom.
07:56I'm going to start moving closer to the rock.
07:59Copy that.
08:00Yeah.
08:00Move to the rock.
08:02Follow me.
08:03Copy that.
08:04Copy that.
08:09Definitely a different kind of kelp here.
08:11A lot of that red, hairy looking stuff.
08:15A nice cut between the rocks that's heading to the northeast.
08:19I'm going to start metal detecting between those rocks.
08:22Copy that.
08:24I'm going to look down here in this crevice.
08:33Busy has got a hat working on it now.
08:37Copy that.
08:38Over.
08:38Topside, uh, my whole head, uh, pocket of little brass nails.
08:48Yeah, we don't want them, so put them aside and keep looking.
08:51To identify one of the convoy ships, Jeff is looking for something more diagnostic than nails and generic debris.
09:05Topside, I have some, uh, very small piece of lead sheathing.
09:09Over.
09:09Yeah, I'm not interested in lead sheathing either, pal.
09:12Keep searching.
09:13Find me something good.
09:15Copy that.
09:19This wind's picking up a little.
09:21While the divers are in the water, Jeff keeps a close eye on the weather.
09:26Southwest winds.
09:27That bubble's f***ing moving.
09:40Topside, I have a piece of brass.
09:44It's got some curvature to it.
09:46Uh, interesting piece, perhaps.
09:49Bring it up.
09:50Let me take a look at it.
09:51I wonder what he got.
09:52I'm fighting the current.
10:10When the wind comes out of the southwest, it pummels Scattery Island.
10:17Hang on.
10:19Well, this could be a f***ing problem.
10:21Things can change here.
10:22On a dime.
10:23You really have to be paying attention.
10:25It's blowing hard.
10:27It's gonna get worse.
10:28Otherwise, you could lose a diver out at sea.
10:33He could be swept away, and you wouldn't even know it.
10:38So, I was pushing around down here.
10:41Stay away from the march.
10:48Off to topside.
10:50I have a hit.
10:50While searching a rocky shore off Nova Scotia's death coast.
10:55I have a piece of brass.
10:59It's got some curvature to it.
11:02Uh, interesting piece, perhaps.
11:04Diver Mike Haas discovers something unusual.
11:07Bring it up.
11:09Let me take a look at it.
11:10Copy that.
11:12We are surfacing.
11:13The team hopes this could be evidence of one of the three convoy ships that went down with the Fever Sham in 1711.
11:23Jeff and his crew believe these undiscovered wrecks still hold untold treasures.
11:29What do we have, Mr. Haas?
11:34I have no f***ing clue.
11:36Oh, no.
11:37Oh, a mystery item.
11:38I don't know what it is.
11:39It could be a piece of junk.
11:40I just don't know.
11:42Interesting.
11:43Brass.
11:44They'd use this for something.
11:49It's pretty tall.
11:51I don't know what that is.
11:53The light's black on the inside.
11:56I have no idea.
11:58No idea.
11:59Sometimes when the divers bring up an artifact that we can't identify, we've got to get it back to the lab, get it cleaned up,
12:05and then Jim can initiate the steps that we need so it can tell its full story.
12:10That's something interesting for the lab.
12:19Let's go home, Johnny.
12:20It's going to pick up.
12:22With dangerous weather on the horizon and a two-hour journey still ahead of them, Jeff calls off the dive.
12:29When every single day counts, losing half a dive day like this is a real setback.
12:38With time running out, Jeff needs confirmation that they're searching in the right location.
12:45So later that evening, team archaeologist Jim Sinclair meets with historian Logan Matesh,
12:51who works with the National Park Service and the Smithsonian Institute,
12:55to see if the object they found could be from one of the convoy ships.
12:59Hi, Logan.
13:02Thanks for joining me today.
13:04Jim hopes this artifact may provide a clue about whether it came from the fever sham or from one of the convoy ships.
13:12We've got a little piece that we found and would like to get your opinion on it.
13:16Is it tarnished brass?
13:18Is that what it is?
13:19Yes, it's tarnished brass.
13:21Okay, so it's got a totally round spout, and there's that little hole there in the side.
13:26It almost looks like a funnel.
13:27It reminds me a lot of the top to a flask.
13:31Not the kind of flask that you'd drink out of.
13:36I'm referring to a gunpowder flask.
13:39Wow.
13:40So what sort of gun are we talking about?
13:43We're most likely looking at a smoothbore flintlock musket.
13:47A flintlock musket is a long gun used by the British in the 18th century.
13:53The operator loads the gunpowder, often from a flask, followed by a lead shot that is tamped down and then primed with more powder.
14:02So, Logan, in your opinion, would this have been more likely on the HMS Feversham or one of the three transport ships?
14:10In my opinion, it's most likely coming from one of the transport ships.
14:14And that's because in 1711, on the Feversham, the individuals who are going to be shooting the muskets on that ship, military soldiers are most likely to have pre-made paper cartridges.
14:28But if we're dealing with the transport ships, they are far more likely to have to load their powder directly from a flask.
14:35So, the Mary, the Joseph, or the Neptune, those individuals are going to have a powder flask.
14:42Wow, that's fascinating.
14:44It's amazing to think that this small piece may hold a big clue for us.
14:49Little objects hold big clues.
14:51They certainly do.
15:01Jeff, we're drifting right that way towards the buoy.
15:03Yeah, well, you don't want to get up on that little thunker.
15:05No.
15:06The next day, encouraged by Jim's research, Jeff moves the team further west, following the trail of the convoy.
15:13Where are we at here?
15:15Stay outside here.
15:16Yeah.
15:23Johnny?
15:24Yeah?
15:25Watch your depth there.
15:26Yeah.
15:27Though the weather is holding steady, Jeff knows it can change in an instant,
15:31and the site they're diving is unfamiliar territory.
15:37This is crucial, this area.
15:40I can smell coins here.
15:42I know you can smell them, too.
15:43All right, well, goodbye.
15:45To help cover more territory in less time,
15:48the divers will use a scooter to increase their speed underwater.
15:51Show them how it's done, Dan.
15:58Find me a damn coin.
16:04The tenders must maneuver carefully to reach the marker.
16:07This close to the rock, the current is strong, the waves unpredictable, and the visibility poor.
16:17A dangerous combination that can easily throw a diver against the jagged edge of the shoals.
16:23Topside, this edition of the fire is over.
16:27Copy that.
16:40Just so you know, there is kelp.
16:44Lots and lots of f***ing kelp.
16:47This is Topside, Haas.
16:48I read you loud and clear.
16:50For some reason, the kelp gods hate me.
16:54Let's head this way.
16:56The current's too strong here.
16:59Copy that.
17:09Mike, over here.
17:11Hang on.
17:13I'm going to look down here in this premise.
17:16Strong hit here.
17:18What do you have over there?
17:22It's buried.
17:23I can't see it yet.
17:26This is almost 2D.
17:29Keep digging.
17:45Looks like I have something.
17:48Cross the topside.
17:50I have...
17:51Can you really please just say that slower?
17:57I really think you're saying you got a f***ing coin.
18:00There's multiple heads here.
18:04With time running out in their latest dive along the jagged coast of Scattery Island...
18:09Can you really please just say that slower?
18:11I really think you're saying you got a f***ing coin.
18:13Diver Mike Haas has made a last minute discovery.
18:17I repeat, we have a nail and a coin here.
18:20Over.
18:21Copy that.
18:21He said he got a coin.
18:23That's what he said.
18:24Keep working that spot, fellas, because where there's one, there's more.
18:28Hope so.
18:28There's multiple heads here.
18:34How much time do we have left?
18:36Topside, this is Griego, low on air.
18:42Copy that.
18:44Mike, mark this with your bag.
18:47Out of time and air, the team leaves a marker to tag the location and return to the surface.
18:54Griego surfacing on our buoy.
18:55I need the boats.
18:57Copy that.
18:59Griego is surfacing at his buoy.
19:02They'll be right with you, Dan.
19:05Topside, I am headed to the surface.
19:07Over.
19:09Copy that, Haas.
19:10Copy that.
19:12Two divers up now.
19:16Copy that.
19:17Copy that.
19:18Copy that.
19:19Copy that.
19:20Copy that.
19:21Copy that.
19:22Copy that.
19:23Copy that.
19:24Copy that.
19:26One glove.
19:27Handful of stuff.
19:28What do you get?
19:30No idea what you're talking about.
19:32Come on.
19:34Let's see.
19:35I heard you on the set.
19:38You come over here and look.
19:40Is that cool or what?
19:42Oh.
19:45That is something.
19:47That is fantastic, guys.
19:49That's a beautiful coin.
19:51There's a Spanish cross.
19:52The crest on the one side.
19:54Spanish cross on the other.
19:55Right there, la. Same one.
19:57Oh, s**t.
19:58Yeah. I have a Spanish cross tattoo on my bicep
20:02because my father's very first coin he ever found was a Spanish escudo.
20:07And it just so happens that he found it on the south side of Scattery.
20:12A Spanish cob is a crudely made coin from the Spanish colonies.
20:17Rather than minted from a thin sheet of silver,
20:20they were simply cut off the end of a silver bar and imprinted on the sides.
20:25They were a common currency in 1711,
20:29found aboard ships from nearly every nation, including those of the British fleet.
20:34That is fantastic. That's what we're looking for.
20:38Imagine leaving that on the bottom of the ocean for nobody to find again.
20:42I'm going to f**king cry.
20:45These Spanish cobs are haunting me.
20:49The Feversham had thousands of them, but this is not the Feversham.
20:54This is on the other side of the Western Breaker.
20:56So what is it doing here?
20:57It has to be from another wreck.
21:00I really need to find out what this is.
21:01I thought there was copper. It's silver, right?
21:03S**t.
21:05Look at that.
21:06Yeah, it looks like silver to me.
21:08This is... Yeah, I want to know what this is.
21:10Oh, we got to get... We got to get back in.
21:12We got to get more. We got to get more.
21:13With the weather holding steady, Jeff sends the divers back to the target,
21:21hoping to find more evidence of a convoy ship and any treasure it may have had on board.
21:29There's thick kelp.
21:31As the divers move further west from the marker, they encounter a familiar foe.
21:36It's... It's definitely worse trying to look in here.
21:45Strong head here.
21:48Smart to get a clear look.
21:50Just so you know, this is like being in a bowl of spaghetti.
21:54Well, then start eating it, then.
21:55Can't get any light to be able to see what we're getting hits on.
22:07Ehhh.
22:09After 40 minutes of fighting the kelp, the divers are out of air.
22:14Hoss to topside.
22:17We are surfacing.
22:19Over.
22:20Copy that, Mike Hoss.
22:22The problem is, I can't see anything.
22:28They literally can't see anything.
22:30And the kelp is so thick, it's black.
22:32But I can still hear the hit.
22:33We got into an area.
22:34It's a very promising area.
22:36But they can't see anything.
22:38I think it'll speed things up if you clear some of the kelp out of there.
22:42So what I'm going to do is I'm going to send you down with your little linoleum knives,
22:45and you guys can go to town.
22:47Let's go down and cut some kelp.
22:48The boys got to go down and do some manual labor.
22:52It's hard work.
22:54They might not like it, but it's going to pay out.
22:57I know it.
22:59Once again, the divers return to the marker,
23:02this time determined to clear away as much kelp as possible,
23:06carving a path to the seafloor.
23:08It's risky because it takes time, and time is something that we don't have.
23:12However, I'm hoping that this move will pay off for us,
23:16and they'll expose an area and be able to get some recovery.
23:22Just keep cutting.
23:23Hopefully this will all go away and we'll be able to see.
23:25With daylight fading fast and cut strands of kelp now covering the site.
23:41That's time.
23:42I want you guys out of the water.
23:44Jeff calls the divers back.
23:46They'll return in the morning,
23:48hoping the shifting tide will sweep away the loose kelp
23:51and reveal clues to one of the lost convoy ships.
23:54It kills me to have to leave a place that is producing,
23:58but it's getting late in the day.
23:59We have no choice.
24:06After a day of cutting away the thick kelp
24:08that continues to frustrate their mission,
24:11the team returns to the jagged edge of Scattery Island
24:14to search for evidence of one of the convoy ships
24:17and its undiscovered treasure.
24:19All right.
24:20You're going where you cleared that kelp.
24:22Let's find something diagnostic, please.
24:27Let's go.
24:28All right.
24:28Let's do it.
24:31Goodbye.
24:31Get them to their site, Chris.
24:33Now you be careful in there.
24:36Jeff's hope is that the current carried away the loose kelp overnight.
24:41All right, guys.
24:41We're good to go right now.
24:42We're going in.
24:43Be careful.
24:55Stay away from the rocks.
24:57Copy that.
25:01This is Topside Haas.
25:02I read you loud and clear.
25:05Dan, can you give me a rundown on visibility, please?
25:08What are you guys seeing under there?
25:18Outside.
25:19I can see it.
25:20The kelp's a lot better here.
25:22Hey, Haas, how are you dealing with the kelp?
25:25Does it look all cleared off where you cut it?
25:27Much better.
25:28The divers are now able to get closer to the seafloor and to any treasure that might be hidden nearby.
25:41Let's see what we can find.
25:43We've got to make this dive count.
25:44While the dive team continues their search, Jim Sinclair meets with coin curator Doug Mudd,
25:54hoping he can identify the piece of silver the team recently salvaged.
25:59Doug is a longtime consultant for the Smithsonian Institute and the International Monetary Fund.
26:05We have a slightly unusual object here.
26:07I thought you might like to take a look at it.
26:11Oh, yeah.
26:12Very interesting.
26:13Let's take a look at that a little more closely.
26:16Okay, yeah, so it's definitely been clipped at the end.
26:23Probably a fork.
26:24So why would they trim off a tine of a fork?
26:29Silverware at the time was made out of sterling silver, which is what they used in the actual coinage.
26:33It meant that it was much easier in emergency situations to convert your silverware into money.
26:42People would bring out family silverware and cut it off.
26:45And if they cut them to a certain weight, it could be used in trade very easily.
26:50What will be interesting is if we weigh this, it might actually correspond to, say, a shilling in weight.
26:57Let's take a look and see what the weight is.
26:59The weight is about 2.1 grams.
27:01That corresponds roughly with what was known as a groat.
27:05That was a denomination at the time.
27:07So it makes perfect sense that something like this might exist and might have been used as money.
27:12In the early 18th century, the use of forks was rare in Britain.
27:18On British naval ships, they were highly restricted until 1897.
27:23Because of the fear they would make ordinary sailors seem unmanly.
27:27But those regulations did not apply to private ships like those that supported the Fever Sham.
27:34The Fever Sham was the only royal ship in the convoy.
27:38And so it's far more likely the sailors on the Mary, the Joseph, or the Neptune would have been carrying this type of pocket change.
27:45Back at Scattery Island, the divers continue their search for more of the convoy ship.
27:57A search that is pushing them closer to the rocky shoreline.
28:01Visibility is great at the moment.
28:04Wow.
28:05This is amazing.
28:07I have non-stop hits on a nettle detector.
28:14What do you have?
28:17The bottom is just littered with pens and swipes and little pieces of sheathing.
28:22Over.
28:24Disregard.
28:24Find me something else, please.
28:25It's going to pick up here in a few.
28:30This is Scriego.
28:31I have a hit.
28:32I'm going to try to dig it out.
28:35Copy that, Dan.
28:38Sorry, Scriego.
28:39I dug a three-foot hole.
28:40Still can't reach it.
28:42I'm moving on.
28:45They're going to find something down here.
28:47They better do it quick.
28:48When that wind runs against the tide, we're going to have waves, and those waves are going
28:55to push my divers up into the rocks.
28:57See them there, fellas?
28:59The rocks got everything shook right up, right?
29:01It's hard to tell.
29:02Once you get eyes on their bubbles, do not lose them.
29:05Jeff keeps a close eye on the weather.
29:08High winds mean larger swells and faster current.
29:11This current is going to push us into the rocks.
29:15Stay close, you guys.
29:17This ability is not great.
29:21You boys, be careful down there now.
29:24Yeah, it's coming in fast.
29:30The swell is pushing us around down here.
29:34Upside, we have a platinum.
29:37The rocks!
29:38Get them away from the rocks!
29:41The swell is pushing me around down here.
29:50Chris, come on!
29:51Move!
29:53With the wind and waves picking up along the Death Coast...
29:57You have a pretty strong current down here.
29:59All right, divers.
30:00To the surface.
30:01That's enough.
30:02Jeff is forced to call the divers back.
30:07Topside, strong hit here.
30:11But they're not returning empty-handed.
30:17Off the top line, I think I may have another coin, all right?
30:21That a boy, us!
30:33Copper coin.
30:34Jesus, Pete Dox.
30:37Oh, can you have a sharp stick?
30:38That's a good one, Mike.
30:40Right on the surface.
30:41As soon as it went down, I couldn't believe it was laying there.
30:43I'm writing around it, and I can see that.
30:45This is a British farthing, or a quarter penny.
30:48It's a very small denomination.
30:50It's not part of any treasure.
30:52This is most likely from the pocket of a common sailor.
30:55The interesting thing, that even though we found a substantial amount of coins on the
31:00Feversham, we never did find a copper farthing.
31:03This, along with the soldiers' flashtop and the fork-tine, are telling me that we could
31:08possibly be on one of the convoy ships.
31:13Well, here we go again.
31:15Southwest winds.
31:16For now, though, the search will once again have to wait.
31:27Let's go home, Johnny.
31:28It's going to pick up.
31:30Let's get back at her tomorrow.
31:31The next morning, Jeff assembles the team to address the increasingly unpredictable weather
31:50and prepare for the next dive.
31:53We are getting hammered out there.
31:57We're losing half of every day.
31:59As you can see outside, it's going to pick up.
32:02She's coming out of the southwest right now, probably about 15 to 20, but she's supposed
32:06to pick up to 25.
32:08Yeah, the swells are going to be so big, we'll be lucky to get two dives in.
32:11Basically.
32:12The winds are progressively getting worse.
32:16I can feel the dive days slipping through my fingers.
32:19I know it's blowing a little hard out there, and I know it's going to be uncomfortable.
32:23That's why I brought you here.
32:24You're the best at what you do.
32:25So, we have to make hay while the sun shines.
32:31So, we better make our morning worthwhile.
32:33As the team departs Lewisburg to continue searching the coast of Scattery Island, conditions are deceivingly calm.
32:51The darkening sky, however, tells a different story.
32:55I'm going to have to keep watching what's going on here.
33:00The wind's a little confused here now.
33:02So, she's come around southeast.
33:04It looks like we've got a little bit of a storm front moving in.
33:08And it might cut our day short.
33:09Okay, stand by.
33:23And please throw up cover down here.
33:27Copy that.
33:31Top side had something.
33:34Copy that, Haas.
33:36They found something.
33:37Pass the top side.
33:43We have a roll from a pin here.
33:48Bring it up.
33:50Roger that.
33:51Over.
33:58Whoa.
34:00There comes the rain.
34:01We just got a storm warning over the set.
34:20I can hear the thunder, and I saw quite a few flashes of lightning off in the distance.
34:24We're going to have to probably pull the pin, because it is going to turn into a washing machine here.
34:30As storms roll in from the open sea, they bring heavy winds, rain, and sometimes lightning.
34:37Because salt water is a good conductor of electricity, a lightning strike can spread along the surface,
34:43causing electrical shock, burns, or paralysis, and ultimately drowning.
34:50This is why it's dangerous to dive these waters.
34:54It's a mess out here, again.
35:01I have a target.
35:03I am attempting to dig it out.
35:05Good.
35:06Keep searching that area, pal.
35:07Upside, I have what I think might be a small piece of silver.
35:17I'm really sure what it is.
35:19Over.
35:20Small piece of silver?
35:21That sounds good.
35:22Keep searching.
35:23Hurry up, though.
35:24Storm is brewing.
35:28As conditions quickly worsen, the divers rush to complete their search.
35:33Upside, Greg, I'm just digging and putting as much stuff in my pouch as I can.
35:48Watch out for ****.
35:50Upside, this washing machine just put a hole in my dry suit for sure.
35:54Do you need to abort your dive, Griego?
35:58I'm fighting the current.
36:00Alert invisibility.
36:01You can tell when it's going to ****.
36:06Oh, my God.
36:08Storm is, uh, brewing.
36:11Off the coast of Scattery Island, Nova Scotia.
36:14Yeah, please just take the washing machine.
36:16An incoming storm has put the dive team in danger.
36:25I'm fighting the current.
36:28Alert invisibility.
36:29You can tell when it's going to ****.
36:33I need to be able to maximize my dive time.
36:36But this weather that we're having here is dangerous.
36:42Yeah, this is topside to safety, diver.
36:45I want you to wrangle your guys and bring them up.
36:47We're having a little bit of lightning up here.
36:49A little bit of lightning.
36:51Copy that.
36:52Okay, all divers, support dive, return to the surface.
36:57Immediately, over.
36:59But the threat of lightning is not the only risk.
37:03Weather like this causes a major swell.
37:07Too strong here.
37:08It is not good for the safety of the divers.
37:11You run the risk of having a diver getting thrown up onto the rocks of the island.
37:19All right, I'm headed to the surface.
37:21This is Drigo.
37:23I'm going to surface.
37:24Copy that.
37:25Let's get you guys out of the water.
37:38Okay, boys, what do you got?
37:40I got a rove and I got a thing that I thought might have been silver, but I'm thinking way
37:44more important than glass.
37:45It's a rove.
37:46Yeah, that's a rove, all right?
37:48A rove is a metal washer placed around ship pins used to fasten the components of a ship
37:53together.
37:54Okay, what else do we got?
37:57Look at that.
37:59That's a piece of the rudder gear.
38:02That rove goes with that.
38:03That material and that material goes together.
38:06Same ship.
38:07There's no question.
38:09Is that it?
38:10Oh, what do you got?
38:12Oh!
38:12Baby, look at you.
38:14That's a bill.
38:15That's definitely a bill.
38:17That's a piece of a bill.
38:18Dinner bill.
38:19Small bill.
38:20I don't know what kind of bill.
38:21There's marking on that.
38:23Look.
38:24I got to get that to the lab.
38:26I'll find out what that is.
38:28So is there other stuff underneath it?
38:29Yes, it's still deeper.
38:30Piles are stuck.
38:31Oh.
38:31Like piles.
38:32Oh, we got to go back there.
38:34Oh, yes, I hear you.
38:36I think we're on to the debris field here, and I want to keep going, but the weather's not
38:42going to allow it.
38:44Yeah, it's time for us to get out of here.
38:47Contact's good.
38:47Whoa, boy.
38:49I don't want to get out of here.
38:50I don't want to get out of here.
38:50Oh, I'm sorry, Lord.
38:52Make no mistake.
38:54The weather is in charge here.
38:56Not me.
38:57Not anyone else.
38:58The weather.
39:00As the storm sets in, the crew secures the deck and readies for the long and unpleasant
39:05journey back to base camp.
39:07Good job, boys.
39:09We're moving.
39:09We're getting out of your way.
39:21Later that evening, Jeff and team archaeologist Aaron Taylor returned to the lab to investigate
39:27the bell fragment.
39:29After soaking the fragment in a solution to stabilize it and remove surface contaminants,
39:35Jeff hopes to find a clue as to which ship it may have come from.
39:38I really thought I saw something on the boat.
39:44What do you see?
39:47You make out anything?
39:48I do.
39:49It looks like I see part of a line.
39:52It's way too straight to be a scratch or pitting.
39:56It's subtle, but yeah, I can see it.
39:59That's absolutely deliberate.
40:02You know, I have an app on my phone, and it's been used on old rock paintings.
40:07It helps to bring out the faint, faint images.
40:10I take a photo.
40:13And then if you play around with it a little bit.
40:15Look, that's what I was talking about right there.
40:17Yeah.
40:18You can see it.
40:19Someone really pop on you, right?
40:20Look at it right there.
40:21That's an M.
40:22Yeah, I see it.
40:24I see it, too.
40:25It's subtle, but it's there.
40:28It could either be the end of Feversham or the beginning of Mary.
40:32It can't be Feversham, because we're too far up the coast, especially from where the Feversham initially wrecked.
40:38Bet you're right after M.
40:40There's an A.
40:41So you're thinking Mary.
40:42I am thinking Mary.
40:43I think this ship is the Mary.
40:45We've already found artifacts here, but I want more.
40:50If this bell truly belongs to the Mary, Jeff and his team may have uncovered the final resting place of one of the three undiscovered convoy ships of the Feversham.
41:00But the greatest mystery remains.
41:06Somewhere off the rugged coast of Scattery Island, the treasure is still waiting to be found.
41:16Next, on the Death Coast.
41:18It's right in there, look.
41:20As Jeff and his team push into uncharted waters.
41:23Some wrecked material here.
41:25That's what we're looking for.
41:26A single artifact could pinpoint the location of a lost convoy ship.
41:31I might have a piece of timber.
41:33That came from a bigger section of the ship.
41:36And an unexplored section of seabag.
41:38It's so big, it's black in the machine.
41:41Yeah, I want it, Mike.
41:42Starts to give up its treasure.
41:44Holy f***.
41:46What are those?
41:47Kind of look like emeralds to me.
