Plot Overview
A museum in Cardiff, Wales, UK and a presentation by Barney Taylor about the British ship RMS Neptune and a film "Exploring the Neptune" raising funds for the Cardiff Historical Society filmed by Judson doing the initial survey work 18 months previously.
The ship is considered cursed when two men died during construction and on it's second voyage returning from New York in March 1945, a U-Boat mistaking it for military target torpedoed and sank the Neptune 30 miles from it's home port, Cardiff, with the loss of 930 innocent civilians. The survivors becoming national heros.
Judson is expecting to get the salvage contract but Taylor passes it over to Lloyd Norman but at the presentation Norman is accidently killed when an altercation between Don Ainsley, who's grandfather was the chief stoker on the ship, and Taylor gets out of hand.
Dame Margo Lawson also present as the only living survivor from the ship believes it is the curse. She tries to convince Judson that death follows the ship and her warning seems to be coming true when more deaths follow.
Is the ship cursed? or does someone not want the ship salvaged because of it's cargo? and why does Dame Margo not want her salvaged trunk opened?
