In the episode, titled Digging For The Truth: Pirates! Terror in the Mediterranean, Odyssey Marine Exploration shares underwater video, artifacts and photomosaics of two Mediterranean shipwrecks. Both sites, discovered by Odyssey, are suggestive of the remains of wooden Xebec ships, a type of ship favored by the Barbary Pirates.
Digging For The Truth visits with Odyssey co-founder Greg Stemm on board Odyssey's archaeological recovery platform, the Odyssey Explorer, to discuss these shipwreck discoveries.
