Sunk at Robinson Crusoe Island- SMS Dresden
This friday night stay in to watch The Sea Hunters dive off the coast of Chile. History Television- Check local listings for times.
In May of 1914, the German Light Cruiser “Dresden” was trapped and sunk by British destroyers. She had been at anchor at Robinson Crusoe Island, 400 miles off the coast of Santiago Chile. Many of her crew were killed and the remainder were placed in a Chilean prison. One of those captured was Wilhelm Canaris. He later escaped Chile by horseback, entered Argentina, and with the help of German sympathizers returned to Germany near the end of the war. Canaris stayed in the German Navy and rose through the ranks until he became Admiral. On New Year’s Day of 1935, Canaris was named as head of the German Abwehr, the Military Intelligence Service. He served as its chief for the next 9 years and in that time assisted with efforts to overthrow Hitler as well as provide the allies with important information on German troop movements. Eventually, Canaris was hung, at Hitler’s orders in the last two weeks of the war. Join Sea Hunter James Delgado and the Sea Hunter dive team as they dive this important WW1 wreck and trace the path of Canaris, as he escapes to become an enigmatic figure of the German Resistance.
For more information on SMS Dresden find her on the Interactive Map.

Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is observed on November 11 to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. Remembrance Day is purposefully dedicated to remembering the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives fighting for freedom and democracy during World War I, World War II, the Korean War and during all peacekeeping missions. We at the Sea Hunters were proud to dive off Juno Beach this past summer while filming a documentary about D-Day and Canada’s great effort there that day. Today we are proud to present a small portion of that documentary to you.
