The Horrifying Wreck of the SS HUNGARIAN (Cape Sable Island, NS - 1860)

[: Michael-Robert.]

"
The Allan Liner SS Hungarian entered service in 1859, steaming between Liverpool and Quebec, Canada. In February, 1860, the ship went down off of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, with no survivors.

This is our biggest documentary to date and in the making for over two years, featuring detailed recreations of the ship using Unreal Engine 5 built off of the ship's original plans. We travel to the wreck site, visit the graves, and even find the exact point where the witnesses watched the disaster from.

In this documentary, we're visiting several museums to take a closer look at artifacts and archives to be sure that every bit of evidence is analyzed. We visit the Barrington Museum Complex and Seal Island Lighthouse Museum in Barrington, the Archelaus Smith Museum on Cape Sable Island, and the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. We even make our way down to Quebec and Montreal, and out to rural Maine to find sites related to this forgotten disaster.

This documentary features not only the wreck of the SS Hungarian, as we piece together the evidence and examine the eyewitness statements, but in exploring the ship's history, we also recreate the thrilling tale of the wreck of the Jean Martin, where the Hungarian's crew heroically rescued all on board, and the wreck of Hungarian's fleet mate, the Indian, only a few months earlier."

The waters off of the Cape of Cape Sable Island were once some of the most treacherous waters in the North Atlantic. We’re exploring these islands and uncovering the remains of one of the island’s darkest nights - the night the Allan Liner Hungarian wrecked off its shore with no survivors, but this island’s story is so much more than I expected. Some of these incredible stories include the installation of a Marconi Telegraph station and tower here on the island, which would later end up relaying the Titanic's distress calls, and the story of the wreck of the brig "Friendship", which resulted in a wedding!

We’re traveling out to the southernmost tip of Nova Scotia and out onto these different islands, uncovering forgotten evidence of some incredible stories. We look at the old ruins of several old homes and even find traces of where the eyewitnesses of the Hungarian disaster set up a fire as a signal to those aboard the ship.
