Burnham Thorpe to London
Neil Oliver explores the birthplace of his seafaring hero Lord Nelson, Mark Horton joins a fishing smack crew and Tom Anderson revisits a sunken ship.
In a journey down England's east coast from Norfolk to London, Neil Oliver visits the birthplace of his seafaring hero Lord Nelson, finding the curious ship-shaped pond he dug at the family home while not fighting the French.
Mark Horton is in the Thames Estuary to investigate the appeal of restoring classic working boats. He joins an Essex fishing smack crew on competition day to discover how the elegant yacht-like design of the smacks is perfectly adapted to dredging for oysters.
Further offshore, former pirate DJ Tom Anderson revisits the sunken wreck of the Mi Amigo, home of the pirate station Radio Caroline.
