New Ship
During the hiatus between season one and two, it is implied that with the boat gone, Bridger rallied the UEO to grant him the funds to construct a new seaQuest, and the UEO, pleased with the original ship's success, quickly agrees and the seaQuest DSV 4600 II shoves off from New Cape Quest in 2021 with Bridger back in command. However, the second seaQuest seemed to be as doomed as the first as it disappeared without a trace in 2022, with all hands presumed lost.
In actuality, the ship had been forcibly abducted from Earth by the KrayTaks from the planet Hyperion in the second season finale, who used Bridger's friendship with Scott Keller to lure the boat into their clutches. While on Hyperion, the seaQuest was apparently destroyed and Bridger's away team completely cut off. With no choice, Bridger chose to sacrifice himself and his crew to destroy the Hyperion mothership and lead the rebels to victory.

Famous quotes containing the word ship:
“And he was lost among the waves,
His ship rolled helpless in the sea,
The fourth month of his voyage
He shouted grievously
“Beloved, do not think of me.””

“We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow’s nest of that ship.”
