Killer Shipwrecks II - The White Ship

Brainstorm Season 5 Episode 2

In 1120, a drunken midnight party aboard a brand-new luxury ship killed nearly 300 of England's young nobility, including the only legitimate male heir to the throne. What followed was two decades of brutal civil war, the rise of an entirely new dynasty, and a lesson in how one submerged rock can reshape the course of a nation for centuries.
