Local folklore and urban legends have persisted for generations that two old shipwrecks may have clues to a long-lost viking grave on Carney Island in Maine.
On January 24th, 1963, nine members of the U.S. Air Force left from a base in Massachusetts aboard a B-52 Stratofortress-C. The mission was to practice low-level navigation in order to avoid the latest soviet radar technology. They left the base just after noon and were due back at 5:30 that afternoon.
