Odyssey Marine Exploration helps Hunter Ellis, the host of the hit History Channel series Digging For The Truth tell the story of Barbary Pirates in the Mediterranean this Monday night, September 24, at 9pm.
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. The show also examines the history of the Barbary Pirates and several others shipwrecks in their search for an authentic Barbary Pirate shipwreck.
