Fifty years later, The Mystery of the Flying Enterprise brings the legend of Captain Carlsen and his ship to life. The programme takes us on a journey that brings us to the bottom of The Atlantic and fifty years back in time.

For the first time in history, divers have located and filmed the long lost wreckage of The Flying Enterprise. Dramatic pictures surface with astonishing new discoveries, in turn provoking new questions and deepening the mystery surrounding the famed ship.

What did the Flying Enterprise really carry in its hold? Was it something more valuable than pig iron, coffee and birdcages − the cargo listed on its official shipping invoice? The film crew investigates all available files and documents in order to cast light on the questions still surrounding the shipwreck.
