Identifying the Ingomar Wreck

Mike and Jimmy search for the lost yacht Ingomar off the North Carolina coast. Using photogrammetry, they create a detailed model of a wreck that matches Ingomar's dimensions. The team investigates Ingomar's history, discovering it was retrofitted with an engine and propeller. They find artifacts and blueprints but need more evidence to confirm the wreck's identity. The mystery of Ingomar's disappearance involves outdated charts and a misleading lighthouse. Finally, they find custom-built fittings matching Ingomar's plans, confirming the wreck's identity.
