    History's Deadliest Shipwreck: SS Wilhelm Gustloff
    2026/01/06
    🍾This is the 100th regular episode of Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs! ⚓ The SS Wilhelm Gustloff was a cruise ship built by Nazi Germany for the German Labour Front in 1938. It was converted into a hospital ship during World War 2, and then a U-boat training ship. On January 30, 1945, more than 10,000 people, mostly civilian women and children, boarded the Wilhelm Gustloff to escape the advancing Soviet Red Army into East Prussia. She was torpedoed and sunk in the Baltic Sea by Soviet submarine S-13. An estimated 9500 people were killed, making the Wilhelm Gustloff the deadliest shipwreck in history.

    The Boozy End of the SS Warwick
    2026/01/02
    On the evening of 30 December, 1896, the SS Warwick of the Donaldson Line crashed into the rocks at Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada. All 31 on board escaped safely, and there with no injuries. But the curious locals of Grand Manan soon found the precious cargo in the hold of the Warwick, and had themselves a New Year's Eve celebration to remember.

  • Rewind: The Empress of Ireland - Canada's Titanic

    Rewind: The Empress of Ireland - Canada's Titanic
    2025/12/30
    This episode originally was published on November 22, 2022. The Empress of Ireland was a luxurious and beautiful steamship of the early 20th century, carrying passengers across the North Atlantic between Quebec City and Liverpool. She and her sister ship, the Empress of Britain, were an important cog during the peak of Canadian immigration. In the early morning hours of 29 May, 1914, the Empress of Ireland collided with the Norwegian ship Storstad in dense fog on the St. Lawrence River. Over 1000 people on the Empress of Ireland perished, and more passengers died than on the Titanic just two years prior. Because of the massive loss of life, she has been called "Canada's Titanic." Dan Conlin, Curator of the Canadian Immigration Museum at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia joins me as my guest. Written, edited, and produced by Rich Napolitano.

  • Project Mayflower: The Story of Mayflower II

    Project Mayflower: The Story of Mayflower II
    2025/11/25
    The Mayflower II—the replica of the 1620 ship that brought the Pilgrims to America and launched a nation—is seen by some 2.6 million visitors to Plymouth annually and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But there is much more to the replica’s story than meets the eye. In fact, the origins of Project Mayflower began in the 1950s not with an American, but with a British World War II veteran named Warwick Charlton who had what seemed an impossible dream: to build a historically accurate replica, sail her across the Atlantic, and present the finished product as a thank-you to his country’s wartime ally. "Project Mayflower" can be purchased from the Plimoth Patuxet Museum Shop at https://www.plimoth.com/products/project-mayflower-building-and-sailing-a-17th-century-replica, as well as Amazon and wherever books are sold. (No affiliate compensation is paid to Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs.) *Disclaimer: A complimentary copy of "Project Mayflower" was provided to Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs by the author.
