About this episode

Some might call the Star of India, a historic trade ship, the most cursed boat in the water. In its 159 years of sailing, the ship has been trapped in the ice in Alaska and run aground in Hawaii, and has seen cyclones, collisions with other ships and a crew mutiny that ended in 17 men being sentenced to hard labor. Special Guest: Britt Griffith
