TheBoaters.TV EP 53 - First up: It was reported last Monday that a private dive team discovered the wreckage of an American ship that sank 139 years ago off of south-central Alaska. In 1868, the "Torrent," a 641-ton three-masted sailing bark, sank after tidal currents rammed it into a reef.

The vessel wreckage was actually discovered back in July by a team led by Steve Lloyd, a shipwreck historian and veteran of a half-dozen other shipwreck expeditions in Alaska. To learn more, visit: www.LostShipwrecks.com
