A shipwreck off Devon uncovered much more than a haul of Islamic coins and jewellery - it also revealed a forgotten and fearful time when coastal Europe lived in terror of the "Barbary pirates". The documentary series travels from the wreck to the spice markets of Morocco to tell the story behind the ship, and explain why over a million Europeans vanished into North Africa in the 250 years from 1570.
