Abandoned: Expedition Shipwreck

Produced by Mallinson Sadler Productions for Science Channel. Past Preservers provided expert Maritime Archaeologist, Rob Rondeau.
Two sinkings almost exactly 100 years apart; one in 1914, the other in 2015 show that tragedy at sea is never far away if human error is involved. The Empress of Ireland, a liner, sinks in the St Lawrence in 1914 resulting in a huge loss of life. The ill-fated container ship, the El Faro, lost in 2015 in a hurricane asks even with advances in modern technology can travel by ship ever be safe?
