Josh Gates Hunts WWII Hellship

Josh Gates dives deep into WWII history in the new season of Expedition Unknown, hunting for the sunken Japanese Hellship Hōfuku Maru that carried over a thousand Allied prisoners to their deaths. Armed with new intel from Japanese archives and working with the Hellships Memorial Foundation and U.S. government, Gates embarks on a solemn, high-stakes mission to honor the fallen — a task he describes as both personal and profoundly respectful. With his dad a SCUBA instructor, Gates knows the dangers all too well: jagged wreckage, unexploded ordnance, and the haunting weight of history. Despite his archaeology background and a lifetime of mysteries, he’s still amazed by the endless stories waiting to be uncovered — from Civil War gold to pirate ships, even his own dream: finding Amelia Earhart’s plane. New episodes drop the day after airing on Max and Discovery+, so don’t miss the adrenaline-fueled, emotionally charged journey through history’s darkest waters.
