The six-part series combines scripted scenes and expert interviews to paint a picture of the major players who plundered ships throughout the southeastern US coast and the Caribbean in the 18th century. But it may also help shine a light on a theory regarding the Bermuda Triangle – a loosely defined region in the North Atlantic Ocean – where a number of aircraft and ships have vanished.
