Search for the Jefferson Davis: Trader, Slaver, Raider (2011)

Buried in the ocean sands off St. Augustine, Florida, 'the Nation's oldest port,' is a shipwreck, one of the last great maritime mysteries from America's Civil War. The 150 year old shipwreck had several incarnations--first, that of a commercial trader, then an illegal slaver, and finally a feared rebel privateer. Underwater archaeologists from the Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program are engaged in a search for this vessel. The quest to find this lost shipwreck is a journey into our shared maritime past. Join underwater archaeologists and forensic scientists in their pursuit to find the missing Confederate privateer--Jefferson Davis.
