Shipwreck Men S01E01 Wreckers Gold VeroVenlo

On the premiere of Shipwreck Men, four Marine Salvage crews compete to survive on the waters of South Florida in a brutal economy.

In Miami, Atlantis captain Burt Korpela tangles with rookie captain Chuck Hansen of Fast Response. But when a boat fire rages, Burt stands to make a lot of money -- if he can put it out.

In Fort Lauderdale, Ryan Sewell of Downrite is pressured by a rival company before racing to save a yacht that is about to wreck on the rocks.

And down in the Florida Keys, Ricky Arnold of Arnold’s Marine and his two sons fight dangerous waters to salvage a sunken boat. When things go wrong though, it could end up costing son Shane his life.
