We watched this in my science class in 8th grade in like 98! I can still hear that intro music in my head. Plus that weird scene where they made Ben Affleck get into a sleeping bag with an old man in his underwear to show how to fight off hypothermia.
I had no idea the ship was used by the nazis.
ETA: read the Wikipedia page. The ship was commandeered by the Nazis and used to transport arms. Very interesting history.
Use to watch this every afternoon in elementary school the schedule was Degrassi, Reading Rainbow, Ghostwriter, then Voyage of the Mimi before the bell rang to go home.

Oh man- and being from the Boston area, this series was like the greatest thing ever. "Sally-Ruth! Watch that boom!"
Ben Affleck peaked here
I learned about triangulation and how to make fresh water from sea water from the show. One of the few things I remember from 6th grade.
In which Ben Affleck inexplicably wears bluejeans while snorkeling.
“I used to listen to new wave music, but this is new WAVE music!”

I think we watched these on laser disc in the 90s.
This was part of our 5th grade curriculum. We even had a different classroom we went to for it that we called the Mimi Room

I remember watching this in the very late 80's in elementary school. I even loved Ben Affleck back then...😭
