Thousands of ships have come to grief on Cape Cod shores due to heavy maritime traffic in and out of Boston, shifting underwater shoals, and vicious northeast storms. Batten down the hatches as the History Channel reviews the Cape's shipwreck history stretching back more than three centuries to the Sparrow-Hawk, which went aground on the Cape in 1626. We also review life-saving efforts along the cape--from the sturdy men with surfboats of the 19th century U.S. Life-Saving Service, predecessor to the U.S. Coast Guard.  TV PG

The Sunshine State is bounded by treacherous waters littered with shipwrecks with tales of treasure and paradise lost, of conquest, hardship, and heroism--all told through the remnants of once mighty
ships. Dive into Florida's waters as we examine three yarns, each shedding light on the region's contributions to U.S. history. We speak with archaeologists who uncovered a Spanish galleon from the 1500s, a mysterious English brig, and a U.S. Navy schooner, and learn how they unravel their stories.  TV PG
