The Allan Liner SS Hungarian entered service in 1859, steaming between Liverpool and Quebec, Canada. In February, 1860, the ship went down off of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, with no survivors.

This is our biggest documentary to date and in the making for over two years, featuring detailed recreations of the ship using Unreal Engine 5 built off of the ship's original plans. We travel to the wreck site, visit the graves, and even find the exact point where the witnesses watched the disaster from.

In this documentary, we're visiting several museums to take a closer look at artifacts and archives to be sure that every bit of evidence is analyzed. We visit the Barrington Museum Complex and Seal Island Lighthouse Museum in Barrington, the Archelaus Smith Museum on Cape Sable Island, and the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. We even make our way down to Quebec and Montreal, and out to rural Maine to find sites related to this forgotten disaster.

This documentary features not only the wreck of the SS Hungarian, as we piece together the evidence and examine the eyewitness statements, but in exploring the ship's history, we also recreate the thrilling tale of the wreck of the Jean Martin, where the Hungarian's crew heroically rescued all on board, and the wreck of Hungarian's fleet mate, the Indian, only a few months earlier.

Featured in this documentary is a brand new recording of a song written about the disaster by famed American folk musician Stephen Foster titled "Lizzie Dies Tonight", performed by Dr. Bethany Turpin.
