We explore the marine mysteries of the Magdalen Islands, an archipelago in North America’s tumultuous inland saltwater sea. Leonard Clark and his family, spanning three generations in the village, have meticulously documented over 1,000 sunken ships. They seek to help the people of the Magdalen Islands, all descendants of shipwrecked sailors, to uncover their ancestery. Leonard, an amateur archaeologist and shipwreck descendent, has dedicated his life to unraveling the history of the Magdalen Islands, tracing the origins of numerous shipwrecks, and deciphering clues to sunken treasures claimed by the sea. Along this unique journey, Leonard Clark shares historical insights and tales of sunken treasures with Mario Cyr, a local hero and globally acclaimed underwater cameraman.

Life is full of phenomenon and circumstances.
Only God knows what actually happened.
Respect for our modern scientist's!
Another shipwreck documentary with 10 minutes of actual shipwreck footage.
God hearing about how people just killed hundreds of walrus at a time, what the fuck
How old is this?

Les iles de la Madeleine!
Great episode. I'd love to swing my detector on those shores
Interesting video ❤❤😊
Absolutely fascinating documentary – as much as the Graveyard of the Pacific (shipwrecks of the Columbia River Bar of Washington/Oregon).

A white girl of pure white race heritage and seafaring ancestry? Yes please.
I like the part where they show shipwrecks and the history behind them. 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😄😅😆
That was hard to type with a straight face.
Sure glad I know about this guy that everyone on the island knows.

You know I think I once did a PowerPoint presentation with more excitement and life to it then this documentary
Too French for me
What a beautiful and contemplative documentary. I hope these islanders continue to pass on their history and stories.
