Shiver me timbers! Divya and Neal's school trip to a maritime museum takes an eerie turn when they sneak away to explore the out-of-bounds areas. There, they meet an old bearded docent who is full of strange tales of vanishing planes and ships.

What really did happen to the crew of Flight 19, lost over the ocean during a training exercise? And what was the fate of the U.S.S. Cyclops, vanished without so much as an S.O.S. signal or a trace of wreckage?

One thing's for sure—when their teacher finds Divya and Neal, they're going to be in a boatload of trouble!

Archives of the Unexplained: Lost Skies and Seas by Steve Foxe delves into these mysteries with an intriguing narrative that will keep you hooked.
