The Great Adventurers
S01:E01 - Scott of the Antarctic
Captain Robert F. Scott led two expeditions to the Antarctic region: the Discovery Expedition that set a record of Latitude 82-degrees-South, and the fateful Terra Nova Expedition.
S01:E02 - Christopher Columbus
Christopher Colombus survived battles with Tunisian galleys, shipwrecks, imprisonment, and severe illness, eventually setting foot in the West Indies and South America.
S01:E03 - Sir Walter Raleigh
Sir Walter's meteoric rise was followed by a slow and tragic fall from grace that eventually ended with the farcical Orinoco disaster, and subsequent death by execution.
S01:E04 - Sir Francis Drake
Sir Francis Drake and the British victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588 are inextricably linked, but there is more to this man's story.
S01:E05 - Sir Ernest Shackleton
Shackleton was a leader of men. Most memorable was his 1914 expedition to cross the Antarctic continent that turned nightmarish. Yet, through sheer endurance, all survived.
