Departure is a six-part event series that follows the investigation into the sinking of a sea ferry, The Queen of the Narrows.  It’s a beautiful day in Boston when almost 500 passengers board the ferry destined for Newfoundland, Canada.  A few hours into the journey an “explosion” onboard throws passengers into a panic, rushing for lifeboats as the ferry takes on water with alarming speed. What unfolds for many of the passengers is an unimaginable nightmare with serious loss of life as the ship sinks in record time.
