Shipwreck on Scottish island identified

In 2024, a schoolboy was out for a jog on the Scottish island of Sanday when he found the remains of a centuries-old shipwreck. After 18 months of investigation by archeologists and local historians, that shipwreck has been identified as that of the Earl of Chatham, a British navy vessel-turned-Arctic whaling ship. Hosts Marco Werman and Carolyn Beeler have the story of that ship, and why uncovering its history was so important to the residents of Sanday.
