Beeswax Ship, Electric Drag Racing, Native Bumblebees

Trama

An archaeological team is investigating the wreck of a Spanish galleon -- a transport ship -- that went down with as many as 400 people aboard off the coast at Manzanita about 1690. The cargo from that vessel has been washing up on the Oregon coast for more than a century. Now the search is on for the remains of the ship itself. Watch as John Wayland's electric car, the White Zombie leaves high powered gas cars in the dust as Portland makes a home for the National Electric Drag Racing Association. John claims that his car is the world's fastest accelerating street legal electric car. See this 1972 Datsun time and time again take advantage of the electric motor's full torque in the first instant and continue to break world records. Oregon’s native bumblebees are disappearing. We’ll show you why and what one farmer is doing to help bring them back.
