First actual recorded episode in 2026 and hosts Andrew + Michelle are a tad rusty. Bear with them as they cover the SS M.M. Drake along with a few ships she encountered along the way such as the Michigan, the Dot, the Smith Moore, the Pilot, and the Hallaran. Whether or not you believe the Drake was good or bad luck, the hero or the villain, we'll let you decide. Welcome aboard!
