Without a Trace: The Mysterious Disappearance of the København
About this episode
This episode explores the mysterious disappearance of the Danish ship København and its crew nearly a century ago.
"Do yeh fear that dark abyss?" So asks Davy Jones, the main antagonist of the second film in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise: 'Dead Man's Chest.' For context, he was referring to death, but his words could just as easily apply to the sea itself. The ocean is vast, unforgiving, and holds many secrets. One such secret is the disappearance of a Danish ship almost a century ago--the København--in which she and her entire crew vanished without a trace. Join me, if you dare, for this week's chilling episode.
