How to watch the new ‘The Death Coast’ series, where to stream free
The brand new series The Death Coast premieres on the History Channel Tuesday, April 1 at 10/9c.
History buffs and adventure seekers can unite for this series as it follows Cape Breton’s Captain Jeff MacKinnon, a third-generation shipwreck salvager. MacKinnon along with his team of ex FBI, military and police divers risk everything to uncover lost artifacts and hidden treasure beneath the waters of the North Atlantic.
As the name of the series depicts, the show centers the team search “The Death Coast”—an area of rough sea in the North Atlantic that’s claimed more than six thousand vessels across centuries. Many sailors met their downfall after braving these waters for trade, war, and plunder.
Gold and priceless objects from their wrecked ships now lie scattered across the ocean floor but salvaging has been banned for the last decade. After a long battle, MacKinnon has won exclusive rights to dive and his team has just 12 weeks to search the wrecks before the turbulent waters of the Death Coast make diving impossible.
MacKinnon’s team is comprised of Dan Griego, Mike Haas, Mike Pizzio, Jim Sinclair and Dr. Aaron Taylor.
What can I expect from The Death Coast’s premiere episode?
Those tuning in for the premiere episode will follow MacKinnon and his team as they hunt for the Le Chameau, an 18th-century French cargo and passenger ship that sank with a fortune in rare coins.
Armed with a 300-year-old map and backed by a world-class team of divers, MacKinnon races against time—and the unforgiving ocean— to recover the Chameau’s lost treasure before the relentless storms of the Death Coast shut him down.
