Caribbean Pirate Treasure

“The Lost River Treasure of Pensacola”

Wednesday, July 11 at 9 p.m. (CDT)

Ashlan and Philippe Cousteau head to Pensacola, Fla., to track down a legend of pirates and lost treasure. Their mission takes them to the dark and dangerous Escambia River to meet a local man who claims he’s found the long-lost pirate ship. When the Cousteaus hit the frigid and roiling river, their investigation becomes a fight for survival. The legend says pirates sank their ship in the Escambia river and then hid their treasure within half a mile of the wreck site in an ancient tribal mound. The Cousteaus begin the second part of their mission with the latest in high-tech equipment: a massive LIDAR equipped drone. The incredible cutting-edge technology provides an amazing map and three likely targets where the treasure might be hidden. As the light begins to fade, their investigation hits a creepy swamp where they unravel the final clues to the treasure legend.
