Alaska:
In January 1910. The steamship Farallon ran aground. Ray tells the compelling story of this shipwreck, of the hardships endured by the crew and the courage they showed whilst sheltering from the harsh conditions

Namibia:
This arid coastal area. Known as the Skeleton coast, is one of the most inhospitable environments in which to survive. Meet with the indigenous bushmen and encounter tales of shipwrecks, rescues and tracking.

Thailand:
