Mystery of the Channel Collision
Airs Monday night (5/1/06) on The History Channel at 10:00pm ET/PT
It also replays on the Discover Channel 4 hours later at 2am Tuesday morning
"On a stormy night in March 1899, two ships head toward each other in the English Channel. The Duke of Buccleugh, a 380-foot iron steamer is bound for India, with a mixed cargo of china, glassware, and industrial goods. The Vandalia, a wooden sailing ship loaded with barrels of petroleum is hurrying to reach London. Shortly after 1pm, the two ships collide with deadly, but surprising results. The iron Duke sinks quickly, with her entire crew of 47; the badly damaged wooden Vandalia limps ashore. The surviving captain reports his sailing ship was operating properly when suddenly rammed by the iron steamer, and for 100 years, his claim goes unchallenged. But now, evidence on the wreck suggests a different story. Did the Duke of Buccleugh ram the Vandalia or was it the other way round? And just how does wood sink iron? Join our intrepid divers, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, as they seek answers."

It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!

I missed it too! I was in the Gorge giving an ocean status presentation to a nonprofit earth center. So I think I'm excused, right??
