Synopsis

A fight for survival, fortune, and belonging as two maritime worlds collide. In the late 1790s, American whaling ships sailed into the uncharted Pacific in pursuit of the sperm whale and collided with Maori – forever changing the course of New Zealand's history. Beyond the Known Seas uncovers the forgotten blood and saltwater soaked story that helped shape modern New Zealand. Featuring American and New Zealand whaling historians, including the bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick and descendants of these early global whalers. Plus filmed aboard the Charles W. Morgan, the world's last surviving wooden whaling ship. This is an epic documentary about ambition, endurance, and the making of a Pacific nation.
