The American sailing vessel Adriatic collided with the French steamship Le Lyonnais on November 2, 1856, off the coast of Nantucket in what can best be described as a maritime hitand-run. Adriatic's captain, Jonathan Durham, rendered no aid and left the passenger steamship to fend for herself. 114 people died in the collision and in the days that followed. In August of 2024, Jennifer Sellitti, her partner Joe Mazraani, and a team of explorers discovered, dived, and identified the wreckage of Lyonnais on the eastern edges of Georges Bank. The book includes an epilogue that chronicles what it takes to chase shipwrecks far from shore in the often-punishing North Atlantic, the search for and discovery of Le Lyonnais, and how it changed their lives. Author of "The Adriatic Affair: A Maritime Hit and Run off the Coast of Nantucket" and part of the team that discovered the wreck of Le Lyonnais, Jennifer Sellitti joins me as my guest.

The Princess Sophia was a Canadian passenger steamship that tragically sank on October 25, 1918, after striking Vanderbilt Reef in Lynn Canal near Juneau, Alaska. Caught in a severe snowstorm with strong winds and poor visibility, the ship ran aground and was unable to be evacuated due to worsening weather. Despite rescue ships waiting nearby, conditions prevented any safe transfer of passengers. When the storm intensified, the Princess Sophia broke apart and sank, killing all 353 people on board, making it the worst maritime disaster in the history of the Pacific Northwest.

In 1588, the dreaded Spanish Armada is coming closer and closer. It's up to the Queen’s Sea Dogs and navy to stop them, but will they succeed in convincing Queen Elizabeth that such action is necessary? And when the Spanish ships finally arrive, what will happen to the Virgin Queen and the citizens of London? And how will this affect the exploration, settlement and colonization of America? The eventual defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 brought fame, both for England and Queen Elizabeth I, and greatly affected the future development of America. Europe was stunned that such a small island nation had successfully defended itself against such a major aggressor and foreign diplomats began to court England as a possible ally. Elizabeth's popularity soared. The impact of the victory for the nation's self-confidence and the future of American exploration and colonization cannot be overestimated. England’s success was celebrated in all manners of ways. Songs were written, medals struck, portraits painted and prints published. All lauded Elizabeth as a savior who stood firm to protect her nation, shared the glory of the success with the English navy and gave thanks for divine intervention.

When people think of major sports hubs in the United States, places like Boston, New York, or Los Angeles come to mind. Maine, on the other hand, might not immediately be thought of as a sports state, but the reality is quite the opposite. Maine has a rich and exciting sports scene, with professional teams, college athletics, and thriving local leagues that provide fans and athletes alike with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the game. Whether you love hockey, baseball, basketball, soccer, or even “old guy hockey” as I like to call it, Maine has something for you. If you're considering making Maine your home, the sports culture here is just another reason to get excited about moving to the Pine Tree State.Professional Sports in MaineDespite its small size, Maine is home to several professional sports teams, each bringing exciting competition and passionate fan bases to the state. The Maine Mariners, a professional hockey team in the ECHL, serve as an affiliate of the Boston Bruins and play their home games at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland. The Mariners have developed a strong following, offering an affordable and thrilling hockey experience for fans who might not want to make the trip to Boston for NHL action. Every year, we host a special Maine Mariners event for our clients, creating a fun and exciting way to connect with the community and enjoy some high-quality hockey.Baseball fans in Maine rally behind the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Hadlock Field, where the Sea Dogs play, is considered one of the best minor league stadiums in the country, and it's the perfect place to catch future MLB stars in action. With a family-friendly atmosphere, plenty of themed nights, and the beloved mascot, Slugger the Sea Dog, it's no surprise that a day at Hadlock Field is a favorite activity for locals. In the past, we've hosted Portland Sea Dogs events as well, and it's always a fantastic time.For basketball fans, the Maine Celtics, formerly known as the Maine Red Claws, represent the state in the NBA G League as an affiliate of the Boston Celtics. The team plays at the Portland Expo Center, providing an opportunity to watch up-and-coming NBA talent before they hit the big leagues. Attending a Maine Celtics game is a great way to experience fast-paced basketball action without the high costs of an NBA ticket.Perhaps the most exciting new addition to Maine's sports scene is the Portland Hearts of Pine, a professional soccer team competing in USL League Two. This marks a huge milestone for Maine soccer, as it provides a stepping stone for future MLS players and gives local soccer fans a team of their own to support. The Hearts of Pine play their home games at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland, and with soccer's growing popularity in the state, this team is set to build an exciting fanbase.College Athletics in MaineMaine's college sports scene is just as lively as its professional leagues. The University of Maine Black Bears boast a Division I football program in the Coastal Athletic Association and have produced NFL players, including Baltimore Ravens fullback Pat Ricard. The school's hockey program is even more legendary, with two NCAA national championships to its name. The Black Bears' hockey games in Orono are some of the most electrifying sporting events in the state, with passionate fans creating an incredible atmosphere.Another noteworthy college sports rivalry exists between Bowdoin, Colby, and Bates, three historic Division III colleges in Maine. This rivalry has been alive for over a century, and fans of these schools take their athletic competitions seriously. Bowdoin College, in particular, has one of the most beautiful hockey rinks in New England, and their games bring in a dedicated following. If you're looking for a tight-knit college sports community, these schools deliver an experience that is steeped in history and tradition.Local and Adult Leagues in MaineMaine isn't just a great place to watch sports—it's also an amazing place to play them. Soccer has exploded in popularity across the state, with local leagues like Seacoast United, GPS Maine, and the Portland Coed Soccer League offering adults of all skill levels a chance to get on the field. Whether you're looking for competitive play or just a fun way to stay active, there's a soccer league in Maine for you.For those who prefer ice over grass, hockey remains a staple of Maine's sports culture. That's where "old guy hockey" comes in—a term I use to describe the incredible adult hockey scene in the state. If you're over 30 and still want to lace up your skates, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Pickup games, beer leagues, and friendly tournaments are played regularly at venues like the Family Ice Center in Falmouth and Troubh Ice Arena in Portland. Playing hockey isn't just about competition; it's also about camaraderie, staying active, and reliving the love of the game.Maine is also home to an impressive golf scene, with over 100 golf courses spread across the state. Whether you're teeing off at Belgrade Lakes Golf Club or playing a round at Cape Arundel Golf Club—where former presidents have been known to hit the links—there's no shortage of stunning courses to explore. The Maine Golf Association offers plenty of tournaments and opportunities for golfers to stay competitive while enjoying the scenic beauty of Maine.Why You Need a Realtor When Moving to MaineIf you're thinking about moving to Maine and want to enjoy everything the local sports scene has to offer, working with an experienced Realtor is essential. A Realtor can help you find homes near stadiums, sports venues, and recreational facilities, making it easy to stay connected to the teams and activities you love. Additionally, Realtors understand the local market, helping you find the best deals and navigate Maine's real estate landscape with confidence.Without the help of a Realtor, homebuyers risk overpaying, missing hidden inspection issues, and getting lost in complicated legal disclosures. A trusted agent not only finds you the perfect home but also helps integrate you into the community—whether that means pointing you toward the best hockey league, connecting you with a local soccer team, or even inviting you to our annual Maine Mariners event!Join Us for Our Annual Maine Mariners Event!Every year, we host a special client event at a Maine Mariners game, bringing together sports fans, homebuyers, and members of the Make Maine Your Home family.

Enjoy this bonus episode and check out Rich's podcast, it's fantastic!The French frigate Medusa shipwreck is one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history, occurring in 1816 off the coast of present-day Mauritania. The ship, intended to transport French officials to Senegal, ran aground on the Arguin Bank due to the incompetence of its captain, Viscount Hugues de Chaumareys and an arrogant passenger Antoine Richefort, who convinced Chaumareys he was a skilled, experienced navigator. The evacuation of the vessel was chaotic and poorly managed, resulting in the abandonment of over 147 passengers on a crude, makeshift raft. The survivors endured a harrowing ordeal of starvation, dehydration, and cannibalism during their 13-day drift before rescue, with only 15 out of the 147 surviving. The aftermath of the Medusa shipwreck sparked public outrage in France, leading to a sensational trial and widespread condemnation of the ship's officers and government officials involved. Théodore Géricault, a French artist, famously depicted the tragedy in his painting “The Raft of the Medusa,” capturing the despair and horror experienced by the survivors. The disaster highlighted systemic issues within the French naval administration, including nepotism and incompetence, prompting reforms in naval recruitment and training practices.Links:The Raft of the Medusa page, on Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs: https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2024/03/11/the-raft-of-the-medusa/Music: Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs, composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully, arranged and performed by Jérôme Arfouche.Artwork: Le Radeau de la Méduse by Théodore Géricault, 1818-1819Support the showReach out, support the show and give me feedback!

Captain Francesco Schettino altered the planned course of his ship to perform a sail-by salute, close to Giglio, without informing Costa operations. His mistress, Moldovan dancer Domnica Cemortan, was on the bridge at the time of the accident. Twenty-seven passengers and five crew were killed in the accident, and countless more were injured. Schettino and other deck officers abandoned the helpless ship well before all the passengers were off the ship, earning him the nickname, "Captain Coward."

Food aboard ships during the Age of Sail (roughly from the 16th to the 19th centuries) was far from luxurious, chosen for its durability rather than flavor or nutritional value. Sailors were at sea for extended periods with no refrigeration, so provisions had to withstand long voyages. The cuisine was monotonous, barely edible, and nutritionally deficient by modern standards. Sailors endured long periods of hunger and boredom over these meals, but advances over time, such as adding lemon or lime to prevent scurvy, improved their overall diet somewhat. Joining Rich for this episode is the creator and host of The History of American Food Podcast, Greta Hardin.

The Skeleton Coast of Namibia is infamous for the countless shipwrecks scattered along its shores, a haunting reminder of the treacherous conditions mariners have faced for centuries. Thick, unpredictable fogs, strong Atlantic currents, and hidden sandbars have made navigating this coastline perilous, often leading ships to run aground. Some of the wrecks, dating as far back as the early Portuguese explorers, remain visible today, slowly being reclaimed by the sands. The coast earned its name because of these wrecks and the skeletal remains of whales, seals, elephants, and even humans found on its shores. Notable shipwrecks, like the Dunedin Star and Eduard Bohlen, offer a glimpse into the tragic history of those who sailed too close to the Skeleton Coast. The Dunedin Star ran aground in 1942, prompting a dramatic rescue operation, while the Eduard Bohlen, stranded in 1909, now rests eerily in the middle of the desert due to shifting sands. These wrecks, partially buried and weathered by time, have become iconic landmarks, drawing adventurers and history enthusiasts alike to this isolated coastline. The haunting presence of these wrecks is a stark reminder of the unpredictable power of nature in this remote and desolate region.

The Ocean Ranger disaster occurred on February 15, 1982, when the semi-submersible offshore drilling rig sank off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, in the North Atlantic. A severe winter storm caused massive waves and hurricane-force winds, leading to water breaching the rig's ballast control room. A series of mechanical and human errors in handling the flooding worsened the situation, and eventually, the rig capsized. Tragically, all 84 crew members on board died, marking the worst disaster in Canadian offshore oil exploration history.

Ships of the Crusades Joining me for this episode is Dr. Nicholas Morton, Associate Professor with the School of Arts and Humanities at Nottingham Trent University. Dr. Morton has written many books, including The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East. The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated by European Christians between the 11th and 13th centuries, aimed at reclaiming the Holy Land from Muslim control. These campaigns involved significant military efforts that spanned several decades, resulting in ongoing conflicts between European powers and Muslim territories in the Middle East. The Crusaders relied heavily on reinforcements, supplies, and communication from Europe, making maritime logistics essential for their campaigns. As many of the Crusades targeted areas like the Levant, which bordered the Mediterranean, control of sea routes became crucial for maintaining the flow of troops, weapons, food, and other supplies. Ships played a vital role in transporting Crusaders, their horses, and their supplies across the Mediterranean. These vessels were typically galleys and large sailing ships equipped for both war and transport. Galleys, in particular, were favored for their speed and maneuverability, often being rowed when winds were unfavorable. Large Byzantine warships were used extensively by both Crusaders and their allies. Merchant ships were also repurposed to carry heavy equipment and reinforcements. Maritime supply lines were vulnerable to enemy attacks, and naval battles were frequent, with Crusaders often needing the protection of fleets from Venetian or Genoese navies, who provided expertise in shipbuilding and navigation. These fleets were essential in maintaining the Crusaders' foothold in the Holy Land. https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2024/09/08/ships-of-crusades/ For ad-free listening to Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs and many other fantastic history podcasts, subscribe to Into History, at IntoHistory.com/shipwreckspod.

The USS Thresher (SSN-593) was a nuclear-powered submarine that tragically sank on April 10, 1963, during a deep-diving test about 220 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. This disaster resulted in the loss of all 129 crew members and civilians on board, marking the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history. The Thresher's sinking highlighted critical flaws in submarine design and emergency response procedures, leading to the implementation of the SUBSAFE program, which significantly improved the safety and reliability of subsequent U.S. Navy submarines. The exact cause of the sinking remains undetermined, but it is believed to involve a combination of mechanical failure and human error under the extreme pressures of deep-sea conditions.

The Lakonia was launched in 1929 as the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (JVO) of the Netherlands Line as an ocean liner, servicing the route between Europe and the Dutch East Indies. After being converted to a troop ship during World War 2, she returned to passenger service until 1963, when she was sold to the Greek Line. The JVO was refurbished and renamed as the Lakonia, then relaunched as a cruise ship. In December of 1963, the ship was en route from Southampton, England to the Canary Islands with over over 1000 passengers and crew when a fire broke out in the hair salon, caused by faulty wiring. A slow response by the ship's crew, contradictory orders, and faulty lifeboats resulted in the deaths of 128 people.

The MiLB crew is back together after Derrik and Jake missed last week's show. Hunter kicks things off by giving a full recap of the 5 Sea Dogs games he watched in Somerset last week. It was a huge week for all of the members of the Big 3, with Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel each having big weeks at the plate. Zach Penrod was a big topic of discussion, as he had his second start in a row of 10 strikeouts. He's quickly become one of the best pitching prospects in the system. How much longer can we expect the soon to be 27 year old to stay in AA? Next, the guys go over Salem, where Miguel Bleis is crushing it and the numbers are starting to stabilize after an unlucky start. It was a great week for Salem starters including Trennor O'Donnell, Jedixson Paez, Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, Luis Cohen and more. In Greenville, they talk about Kristian Campbell destroying the baseball and Bryan Gonzalez becoming a big power prospect. In Worcester, the guys ponder the future for Nick Sogard, and discuss Lucas Luetge among others. After a quick FCL Minute, it's time for Guess the Prospect.
