UNSOLVED MYSTERY: The SS Marquette & Bessemer No. 2

In this episode, we dive into the mystery of the SS Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, a car ferry that vanished on Lake Erie in December 1909. Despite being one of the Great Lakes’ shallower waters, the 350-foot vessel disappeared without a trace, leaving behind chilling clues: lifeboats with frozen crew members, conflicting distress calls, and rumours of mutiny. We explore the ship’s design flaws, the theories behind its fate, and why, more than a century later, this “Holy Grail of Shipwrecks” still hasn’t been found. Hosted on Acast.

DISASTER: The Sinking of the HMHS Britannic - Titanic’s Sister Ship & Violet Jessop’s Survival

In this episode, we dive into the incredible and tragic story of the HMHS Britannic, the lesser-known sister ship of the Titanic. Originally designed for luxury, Britannic became a hospital ship during World War I — only to meet a devastating fate in the Aegean Sea in 1916. Even more incredible, a Titanic survivor, Violet Jessop, once again found herself on a sinking ship, but this time her tale would be far more harrowing. Hosted on Acast.
