>>4@ 13 OF THE 56 CREWMEMBERS
SURVIVED.
THEIR DEATHS WERE 4@SENSELESS
BECAUSE GERMANY WAS BEATEN AND
WOULD SURRENDER JUST TWO 4@WEEK
LATER.>> THE NAVY BELIEVES THE
SHIP WENT DOWN AFTER A BOILER

HAPPENED.
>> 74 YEARS LATER, THE REAL

AND KING LIVES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
AND IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL
DIVER.
HE TOLD US WHAT HE FELT WHEN HE
BECAME THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO
SEE THE WRECK OF THE EAGLE 56
ON THE OCEAN FLOOR, OFF MAINE.
>> WHEN THAT THING CAME 4@INTO
VIEW, IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME
THING I HAD EVER SEEN.>> YOU 4@
GET DOWN THERE AND YOU ARE
SWIMMING ALONG AND THERE4@ 4@IS
AND THEN YOU SEE THIS GIANT
WALL OF 4@STEEL.
AND THAT WALL4@ OF STEEL YOU HE

GUN AND THE OTHER MACHINERY AND
YOU REALIZE THAT YOU'VE GOT 4@A
SHIPWRECK.>> YOU WERE IN ON

TO YOURSELVES, YES WE'VE GOT

EVERYDAY GUYS WHO ANYONE COULD
RELATE TO, TO 4@TRY 4@TO ACCOMP
AN EXTRAORDINARY THING.>> IT IS
NOT ONLY JUST A REESE RICH
PIECE OF HISTORY BUT A GREAT
MYSTERY STORY4@ AND EFFECT,
BECAUSE, THE VERSION OF 4@EVENT
FROM THE NAVY HAD LONG BEEN THE
EAGLE HAD A 4@BOILER THAT BL4@E
AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE
VESSEL TO GO 4@DOWN.
CORRECT?
WHEN YOU WERE DIVING, YOU FOUND
SOMETHING THAT TOLD YOU THAT
VERSION MAY NOT4@ BE ACCURATE.
WHAT WAS THAT YOU DISCOVERED?
>> WE FOUND THE BOILERS AND
THEY WERE IN TACT4@ SO THIS PAS
SUMMER WE WENT DOWN WE STARTED
SWIMMING ALONG WE FOUND SOME
WRECKA4@GE.4@
WE FOLLOW THE TRAIL AND FOUND
THESE TWO INTACT BOILERS THAT
LOOKED LIKE YOU COULD LIFT THEM
UP AND PUT THEM IN THE SHIP AND
WE WOULD BE READY TO GO
AGAIN.>> AT THAT POINT, HISTORY
CHANGES BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF
THE LAST ONES TO BE SUNK BY
GERMANY IN WORLD WAR II BUT DID
NOT THINK BY ACCIDENT SO YOU
KNOW NOW, THAT YOUR STORY HAS
GONE AND ZIGZAGGED.4@
>> 4@THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST
INCREDIBLE ASPECTS OF THIS 4@
EXPERIENCE, MAKING THE SHOW4@ A
MAKE IT WITH THESE GUYS WAS TO
SEE IN REAL-TIME THE HISTORICAL
RECORD THAT SO 4@MANY PEOPLE HA
BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH, CHANGE
BEFORE OUR EYES.
AND NOT ONLY CHANGE BUT CHANGE
IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS THE LIVES
BEFORE OUR EYES. AND NOT ONLY CHANGE BUT CHANGE IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS THE LIVES@
OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THOSE
LOST IN THE SHIP 4@THAT 4@ARE S
LIVING TODAY.>> PEOPLE
SHOULDN'T GET THE IDEA THAT IT
WAS AN EASY THING FOR YOU TO GO
OUT SIX MILES OFF 4@THE COAST O
CAPE ELIZABETH AND INTO HUNDRED
60 FEET OF WATER AND DO THIS
BUT HOW MUCH VISIBILITY DO YOU
HAVE DOWN THERE?>> FIVE FEET ON
MOST DAYS, 25 FEET ON A 4@GOOD
DAY.>>4@ HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO
BE IN THE WATERS FOR THAT
TIME?>> OUR DIVES ARE 2 1/2 OR
THREE MILES PER HOUR AND WE 4@A
SPENDING ALL OF THIS TIME AND A
TIME?>> OUR DIVES ARE 2 1/2 OR THREE MILES PER HOUR AND WE 4@A SPENDING ALL OF THIS TIME AND A@

ONE POINT YOU AND YOUR CREW
HOOKED ON TO A DEPTH CHARGE 4@
FROM THE VESSEL, NOT JUST ONE.

ARE 20 THEREFROM INITIALLY WE
RACK THAT WE HOOKED ONTO 4@HAD

>> EXPLOSIVE DEVICES THAT WERE
USED IN THE PATROL BOATS WHICH
IS HOW 4@MUCH TNT?>> OVER 10004
POSSIBLY.
AND THEY ARE LIVE AND READY TO @
BE USED.>> WHAT IS THE
CHALLENGES OF THE STORY ON
FILM?>> FROM A LOGISTICAL
PERSPECTIVE WE'VE GOT THEIR
DIVE BOAT WHICH IS OF LIMITED4@
SIZE WHICH IS 27 FEET, WE HAVE
@ A WHOLE PRODUCTION CREW TO 4@
CAPTURE IMAGES TOP SIDE AND
DOWN ON THE BOTTOM.
SO IT BECAME A REAL CHALLENGE
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS THE
COCKTAIL OF TO LOGISTICS.
HOW MUCH CREW COULD WE SEND TO
THE BOAT AND HOW MANY TRIPS
COULD RETAKE WITH THESE GUYS
BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY WE ARE
UTILIZING THEIR RESOURCES AND
TAGGING ALONG WITH THE TRIP AND
HOW COULD WE MOST EFFECTIVELY4@
CAPTURE THE IMAGES?
THEY'VE GOT ENOUGH TO DO AT THE
BOTTOM THAT IS ALL TECHNICAL
WORK AND WE NEED TO SEND HIGH
QUALITY CAMERA TEAM TO CAPTURE
NOT ONLY THE WRECK ITSELF BUT
THEM WORKING ON IT.
>> 4@WHAT BECAME CLEAR WAS THAT
THE SHIP WAS ATTACKED BY THE
4@ GERMANS AND THAT'S WHY IT WENT
DOWN.

VESSEL AND SOME WHO SURVIVED,
