Drain the Oceans — Pacific War Wrecks

The ocean has always been a keeper of secrets, a vast and silent witness to history’s greatest dramas. Beneath the tranquil blue of the Pacific, countless relics of World War II slumber on the seafloor — battleships, submarines, aircraft, and supply ships, reclaimed by coral and time.

In Drain the Oceans: Pacific War Wrecks, National Geographic pairs cutting-edge sonar imaging with immersive storytelling to peel back the ocean’s surface and reveal these submerged war graves in astonishing detail. The episode guides viewers through some of the Pacific’s most storied wreck sites, offering an extraordinary look at maritime history transformed into underwater monuments.

For those captivated by the mysteries of the deep, the enduring echoes of maritime conflict, and the awe of underwater discovery, this is essential viewing.
