Introduction

The Curse of Civil War Gold is a non-fiction series about American Civil War history on History Channel.

Outline

The team head to Frankfort, Michigan where they visit the lighthouse from where a lighthouse keeper allegedly saw a boxcar pushed off a ferry.

They then meet with Marty Lagina before heading to the boat that Marty had located for them. Once in the area where they think the boxcar is located, they use side-scan sonar to map the bottom of the lake.

Meanwhile, Brad meets with a maritime historian to gather information on what would happen to a boxcar that was pushed off a ferry. Back on Lake Michigan, an object that resembles a boxcar is located. Next day, Kevin, Al and Jeff dive the target but find that it is a more modern metal boxcar than the wooden one that they are looking for.

Another target is located and they dive on it but just as they reach it they run out of air and have to surface. By the time they are ready to dive again, the water has become more choppy and when Kevin jumps off the boat he collides with the dive platform, injuring himself. The boat returns to shore and Kevin is taken to hospital.
