Discovery Channel’s Moonshiners features Mystic’s Argia
It seems as though every month Mystic is featured in a movie, television show or reality show. The Mystic sailing schooner Argia and her crew were hired last August by The Discovery Channel for the filming of an episode of Moonshiners, called The Real McCoy.
Moonshiners Mark, Digger, and Tim explore the legend of Bill McCoy, the greatest rum runner in American history. Declared Public Enemy #1 by the US government, was he out for just fame and fortune, or was he a patriot standing up for what he believed in?
That episode just aired this week and will air again on Tuesday the 20th at 7pm. It may also be streamed at The Discovery Channel (Season 13, Episode 103 of Moonshiners).
Amy Blumberg, Captain and GM of Argia said “We are really excited about all the fantastic footage of local icon, the sailing schooner ARGIA, as well as her camera-friendly crew featured in this episode!” Also featured in the episode are locals: author Robert McKenna who wrote The McCoy Brothers and Professor Stephen Jones of the UCONN Maritime Studies Program.
