not too bad, but if i hear 'drain the great lakes' again:
watch online at http://eztvstream.com/documentaries/drain-the-great-lakes

I watched it last night.It was a snooze fest.
Watching a new simpson episode would of been more rewarding.

I think the Nat Geo show is a different show. Quoting from

"Drain The Great Lakes, an original Canadian special"

I also checked NatGeo's website and also Discovery including both website's stores and came up empty and blank. It appears to me that this is a special done by a private company or organization and unfortunately the only way get a DVD copy is through them and not from NatGeo's or Discovery's website. I remember back in the 1990's when Discovery had the Shipwreck show about the Edmund Fitzgerald on and I taped it on VHS. I can't even find that one anywhere on anybody's website VHS or DVD and I looked.

I just checked. not yet available at NatGeo

Drain The Great Lakes was aired on the National Geographic channel a few weeks ago. It is a very fascinating and well done program. You may be able to get a copy of the DVD through NatGeo.

[quote="Denny"]I noticed on the news page and Discovery Channel's website, that the Drain the Great Lakes TV show will be broadcasted on the Canadian version and not the U.S. version. Is there anyway that we can see and watch this on the U.S. version? Also, where and how can I purchase a DVD copy of it if it is shown only in Canada?[/quote]


I saw this show the other day on the National Geographic channel. I live in the US, so just keep your eyes open.

Regardless of that, if your expecting lots of lake freighter stuff don't buy it. Their isn't much, maybe 5 minutes at the end of the show mostly revolving around the Fitz.

I saw it on the National Geographic channel about a week ago. Pretty good, although (and no disrespect to the sailors on her), I wish they would stop treating the Fitzgerald like she is the only wreck in the lake.
