Wreckage, survival and the hush of the sea: Shipwreck Stories brings the human edge of maritime disaster into sharp, unflinching focus.

Each episode reconstructs real castaway experiences, lost vessels and the choices that separate rescue from oblivion.

You’ll hear vivid scene-setting, firsthand accounts where available, and clear explanations of navigation, weather and survival techniques that shaped each outcome.

This is not a textbook about ships; it’s a collection of human dramas set against reefs, storms and open ocean, told with respect for the victims and curiosity about the forces at play.

New episodes arrive every day — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday — at 7:00 PM, with compact narrative episodes that run long enough to immerse you but short enough to fit into your evening.

Ideal for listeners who crave precise maritime storytelling, practical survival insight, and the tension of true nautical mysteries without sensationalism.

If you want to understand how wrecks happen, how people survive, and what the sea conceals, Shipwreck Stories gives you a steady compass.

    and found a small orange device sitting in the dirt behind a propane cage

    A small orange EPIRB, dry and unactivated, was discovered in the dirt behind a propane cage at Sawyer Marina eleven days after the sailboat it belonged to was reported missing. The beacon traced directly to Fair Margin, yet the boat was later found underway and her owner alive - so where had the safety device been while the crew drifted and searched in the dark?

    In this episode, we tell the story of Amy Young and her Catalina 42 Fair Margin, the night Tom Bricker went overboard, and the chain of interrupted tasks and hidden failures that left a competent sailor invisible to the systems meant to find her without spoiling how she was ultimately located.

    Person: Amy Young
    Vessel: Fair Margin, 1994 Catalina 42
    Person (deceased): Tom Bricker
    Location: Sawyer Marina to 67 miles southwest of Portsmith
    Dates: Departure July 7 2011; rescue July 18 2011

    - Donna Peterson found the EPIRB dry and unactivated behind a propane cage on July 19 2011.
    - Tom Bricker removed the EPIRB two days before departure to replace a sticker and left it on a workbench.
    - A dockhand moved the beacon outside to clear bench space and it remained in the dirt for at least a week.
    - Amy transmitted nine seconds of VHF at 2:23 a.m. reporting a man overboard but the radio could not reliably transmit.
    - Tom Bricker’s body was recovered twelve miles north of the man-overboard position on July 22 and the reason he went overboard remains unknown.

  • A nineteen-dollar drugstore watch should not survive eleven days at sea

    A nineteen-dollar drugstore watch should not survive eleven days at sea

    A nineteen-dollar drugstore watch should not survive eleven days at sea

    A small Casio wristwatch, face down and still running, fell from the underside rope netting of a deflated life raft onto a volunteer’s sneaker at a boat ramp on Ibis Cay. It kept time to within four minutes after eleven days adrift and redirected a Coast Guard search hundreds of square miles from its original corridor. How did a cheap watch, hidden face-inward, become the single clue that saved the only survivor?

    In this episode, we follow Marie Crawford, a 28-year-old surveyor and experienced sailor, aboard the 42-foot sloop Indigo Road when a sudden squall dismasted the vessel on June 7. We reconstruct the decisions she made in the raft, the drift modeling that moved the search, and the chain of small choices that kept rescue possible without promising it.

    Person: Marie Crawford
    Vessel: Indigo Road, 42-foot sloop
    Date of incident: June 7 departure, raft found June 19
    Location of rescue: debris field ~70 miles east-northeast of Jacksonville
    Survivor weight on rescue: 91 pounds

    - Pete Sauer filed a float plan from Marina Bay listing Nassau and return by June 16.
    - The Indigo Road carried a six-person coastal life raft not rated for open-ocean use purchased six weeks earlier.
    - During the squall the mast came down, Pete Sauer went overboard and did not resurface.
    - Marie hid a $19 Casio watch face-inward in the raft netting and packed a VHF radio with its battery removed and a taped one-liter water bottle.
    - The most disturbing detail is that the watch survived eleven days inside a rope fold and its discovery by a volunteer is what redirected the Coast Guard and led to Marie’s rescue.

  • That single fact broke every physical explanation investigators had tried to build

    That single fact broke every physical explanation investigators had tried to build

    Eight inches below the surface of Grover Falls Reservoir, nineteen days after the Calhoun Duchess capsized, a dog groomer found a child's size-four sneaker with its velcro still fastened and the interior completely dry. How could a shoe submerged under thirty feet of water for weeks look as if it had just come off a child's foot, and what did that impossible object reveal about the ninety seconds that determined who lived and who died?

    In this episode, we follow the April 25 capsize of the Calhoun Duchess and the three anomalies that reshaped the investigation: a field notebook with the name MAYA written four times, life vests shown to have been manually loosened before the boat went over, and a dry sneaker recovered nineteen days later. We trace the actions of Sandra Pruitt, her daughter Maya, deckhand Pete Odell, and biology teacher Eric Barnes without spoiling the procedural findings.

    Person: Sandra Pruitt
    Person: Maya Pruitt, age 9
    Vessel: Calhoun Duchess
    Date: April 25
    Duration trapped under hull: 3 hours 40 minutes for survivors; time of rescue begins at 7:47 p.m.

    - At 4:03 p.m. Pete Odell felt the vessel's trim pull three degrees low on the starboard quarter and did not immediately report it.
    - Two life vests stored on the stern showed stress marks consistent with manual release prior to impact.
    - Eric Barnes resurfaced in an air pocket beneath the inverted hull and kept Maya awake by asking her about yellow-crowned night herons.
    - Barnes's waterproof field notebook contained a list of names and the word MAYA written four times with different pressure and the same pen.
    - A size-four white sneaker with closed velcro photographed at 7:42 a.m. on May 14 was wedged eight inches underwater yet completely dry, linking a jacket pocket, a blown tire, and nineteen days to the rescue sequence.
