Coast embarks on its first adventure to North America, exploring British
connections far offshore and surprising stories in the waters just off
Britain's shoreline.
Nick Crane journeys over the Atlantic to New Scotland, that is Nova Scotia, in
Canada. Attending a gathering of descendants from the MacNeil clan, Nick
discovers how centuries-old traditions, now forgotten even in Scotland, have
been kept alive in Nova Scotia. Why did Scottish settlers flood offshore to
Canada 200 years ago and how well did they succeed? An archaeological dig also
reveals the 400-year-old secrets of the first English colony in Canada, near
the site where Canadians now fly the largest Union Flag in the world. Nick also
discovers the rusting remains of the remarkable transatlantic telegraph cable
which first hardwired Britain to America 150 years ago and which continued to
carry telegrams until late into the 20th century. At the Canadian cable station
Nick learns about the secret messages which Marilyn Monroe sent over the wires
to her lover across the Atlantic.
Tessa Dunlop reveals an untold story from the Falklands war, the desperate
struggle to communicate the fateful message to sink the cruiser General
Belgrano. How was the order to attack the Argentinian battleship somehow sent
8,000 miles to the submarine, HMS Conqueror, submerged deep underwater? Tessa
learns of the remarkable radio network centered on massive antenna housed
outside land-locked Rugby. Built to communicate with nuclear submarines during
the cold war, why did this ingenious system struggle to cope at the most
dramatic moment of the Falklands war?
On a beautiful but desolate isle in the Outer Hebrides, Miranda Krestovnikoff
goes in search of Britain's oldest puffin. She discovers how seabirds manage to
live up to 50 years in the harsh environment offshore.
Naval historian Nick Hewitt uncovers the hidden history of the 100-year-old Nab
Tower, which sits in the sea off the shores around Portsmouth. Nab Tower is now
a life-saving lighthouse, but it was built to sink U-Boats during the First
World War. What were the secrets behind the construction of this massive
concrete and steel giant, designed to sit in the middle of the English Channel?
And what became of its mysterious twin, the tower that never made it to sea?
Offshore from the Isle of Wight is one of the few locations in Britain where
people can be buried at sea. Coast gains unique access to reveal how this
rarely seen ceremony is conducted, using a specially designed coffin together
with a poignant and appropriate choice of music and poetry to commit the dearly
departed to the deep.
