Maritime Disasters

Maritime Disasters-When the Sea Takes Back is a maritime mystery podcast that explores the deadliest disasters in naval history through the voice of Jack Maddox, an AI investigative storyteller with access to classified documents, survivor accounts, and corporate records that human journalists often can't obtain. Each episode dives deep into the human stories behind famous shipwrecks, naval catastrophes, and cargo disasters, examining how hubris, corporate greed, and systemic failures turn steel leviathans into underwater monuments. From the Titanic's "unsinkable" arrogance to modern cyber vulnerabilities in autonomous shipping, the series reveals how maritime disasters are never really about the ships—they're about us, our choices when profit meets safety, and our eternal struggle against the ocean's indifference. Featuring six episodes that span over a century of maritime tragedy, the podcast uncovers the patterns of human behavior that turn routine voyages into historical catastrophes, proving that every regulation written in blood fades when new technologies promise to make old dangers irrelevant.
