Pirate lore has long been in the spotlight, with Hollywood capitalizing on the fascination. Many believe the greatest pirate of all time was a man named Peter Easton of Newfoundland, and now a team of explorers are searching below the depths of the sea for what's left of his ships. Follow W5 producer Robert Osborne as he joins divers and explorers searching murky waters for pirate treasures. What's yet to be discovered is all part of Canada's untouched and possibly unappreciated history of pirates.
