    One man show
    A truly excellent effort for a solo caster. Production reflects his status, but that’s not what you come for, or why you stay. Keep rolling!

    The podcast I didn’t know I needed
    Very well researched. Fascinating content. He covers many stories that haven’t been well covered before. Even stories I’m familiar with I end up learning something new.

    Great history show about shipwrecks
    This podcast made me realize that there’s always more to shipwrecks than meets the eye. When I first tuned in, I wasn’t sure what to expect but now I see how there are always a multitude of stories behind what seems like just one. The host has some really cool guests on too like one that runs a private diving vessel to recover artifacts!
  • Doug Honeyman
    Very Engrossing!
    I’m enjoying this series greatly! Something mysterious and mystical about shipwrecks and the unique characters aboard that are the sailors and perhaps common passengers. Rich does a good job of picking out well-known and unknown nautical incidents, many of which are tragic. I look forward to each new episode!

    My Favorite Shipwreck
    This feels like an awesome true crime podcast but with shipwrecks instead. My new fave! Not only is it fascinating to hear about historic wrecks and how they happened, but the podcast also gives the broader historical context. Great, captivating storytelling!
  • MarkinIllinois
    An Excellent podcast!
    I was drawn to this podcast by both the artwork and the topic, as an Englishman who grew up with epic stories about Nelson, Cook etc., I just had to listen. I'm happy that I did. The presentation is professional and the research superb. The true life events are often sad, but all those victims of sea disasters deserve to have their stories told....and told well, and this podcast definitely does that. Great work, you've got a new subscriber!

    Great work!
    As a professional mariner and journalist, I really love Rich N’s attention to detail and production values. A MUST listen if you are into the water.
  • killdeerD
    Civil War and Shipwreck history- yes please!
    Really well done! Such a tragic story, but it’s good to hear efforts like these, to keep the story alive and remember all those unfortunate men that have been largely forgotten by history.

    Anchors Aweigh!
    This is a great podcast! Extremely interesting content and so interesting. I can’t wait to hear the next episodes!
  • The OnionEaters
    This is going to be good.
    One down, getting ready to listen to the second one. Have always been fascinated by the Sultana and this does not disappoint. Just imagining what is to come next. It’s going to be good, I can tell. Obviously great research. Great production values. Perhaps best of all A SINGLE NARRATOR. So no giggling about how many people died. This is telling nautical history as it should be told. It’s so good, I subscribed. Some will understand that some won’t.
