Recap

The Titanic goes down in 1912. Sometime later, a passing ship spots a lifeboat and is surprised to see one survivor on board. The captain sends a rescue boat to pick up the lifeboat and then tries to make out the name of the originating ship on the lifeboat. He has his first officer confirm what it says: that the lifeboat came from the Titanic. Both of them believe that it’s impossible. The captain greets the rescue team as they bring the lifeboat on board, and they discover that the survivor is a man dressed as a woman. As the survivor is taken to the infirmary, the commanding officer, Richards, tells the captain that the lifeboat appears to have been at sea for years, and the survivor would have been long dead...

Episode Quotes
Host: An unforgiving sea usually buries its secrets beneath itself. Warships and ocean liners, treasure galleons and submarines turn into rusting relics inside a watery locker, lost to memory. But occasionally there comes a floating unbidden reminder of disaster like this lifeboat. The painting is called The Lone Survivor, we'll put in tow and see where she came from and why.
