The Story Begins...

On January 30, 1999, Richard Swete embarked on an expedition to locate the remains of the H.M.S. Serapis, a vessel that was taken by John Paul Jones from the British during one the bloodiest naval battles of the American Revolution

This is the story of the modern-day quest to recover the Serapis, the man whose passion initiated the search, and the people who continue to complete his dream.
