A fight for survival, fortune, and belonging as two maritime worlds collide.
In the late 1790s, American whaling ships ventured into the Pacific in pursuit of the sperm whale, colliding with Māori and changing New Zealand forever.
Filmed aboard the Charles W. Morgan, the world's last surviving wooden whaling ship, Beyond the Known Seas uncovers this forgotten story. Featuring bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick and descendants of the whalers.
