- A mysterious sinking, a group of dedicated scientists and technicians and a 200 year old shipwreck have all collided in the Gulf of Mexico. Four thousand feet below the choppy seas the remains of a 19th century shipwreck lie in wait and a month long expedition has been mounted to uncover her secrets. This is the deepest underwater archaeological project ever attempted in the Gulf of Mexico. And it's a race against time to uncover the Mardi Gras shipwreck and solve the mystery. The Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University has assembled a world class team of underwater archaeologists from A&M and the Minerals Management Service and submersible pilots from Veolia ES Special Service to tease the secrets from a buried hulk lying deep in the Gulf of Mexico. The 4.8 million dollar expedition has been over 2 years in the making and the team has less than three weeks to recover as many artifacts as possible from the site. Using a state of the art remotely operated vehicle the pilots will retrieve items as small as Spanish coins and as large as a 950 pound cannon. All in hopes of putting a name to this shipwreck and writing a new chapter in the maritime history of the Gulf of Mexico.
- "Assault on America" gives both a personal and historical perspective to one of America's closest brushes with World War II. Following the United States' entrance into the war after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the German Navy launched submarines to attack and destroy the wartime shipping operation off the East Coast. The Germans anticipated the U.S. lack of preparedness for their assault and capitalized using just a handful of U-boats to sink more Allied tonnage off the East Coast, than the entire Japanese Navy could claim in the Pacific. This is a story of devastation, fear and survival. And remarkably, this is a story still relatively unknown to many. The frightening and amazing details of this story are told by those who lived it The seamen who survived the U-boat sinking of their merchant ship relate the chaos of escaping a burning ship. A German U-boat radio operator tells of the life and death existence aboard his ship and his crew's experience upon being attacked and sunk by the U.S. Coast Guard. People who were children at the time of these assaults recall seeing the ocean on fire, the prescribed blackouts coastal residents ignored, and the debris that washed ashore following the attacks. The viewer will visit the remains of some of these ships as they sit on the bottom of the ocean and journey back in time to a pivotal point in World War II.
