I haven't figured out when the next episode(s) are scheduled to be shown. Has anyone else?

I flew to NYC a few years ago to see the James Caird, his original boat, when it was on display at the Natural History Museum. They had videos playing of the Southern ocean all around the room with sextants hooked up to a computer so you could attempt noon sights and see how accurate you were. Very cool. I think the boat is typically on display at the Greenwich Maritime Museum in London.
