The two-hour documentary, which originally aired on November 28, 2020 as part of the series "History's Greatest Mysteries," was the result of two years of planning and over $250 million spent in technology utilizing the same vessel, the S.A. Agulhas II. Many of the same crew were aboard when their news made international headlines when they discovered the ship on the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
