== History ==
=== The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest TV series ===
The Quest team take the Questor to Bermuda to investigate the apparent appearance of the ghost of pirate Black Jack Lee. At the coordinates, they launch the Sea Slug with Hadji, Jonny, and Race on board, while Dr. Quest and Jessie Bannon stay topside. During the procedure, a strange fog rolls in and the Questor is attacked, the electronics sabotaged, and Dr. Quest and Jessie are taken captive. Hadji, Jonny, and Race are able to make it topside, and they find the Questor abandoned. Jonny takes an outboard motorboat, launched from one of the Questor's two hulls, to go look for help.Episode 1.01 The Darkest Fathoms
Dr. Quest and Hadji take the Questor out again while looking into the events of The Mary Celeste with Max Schumaker. After the sabotage during its previous use, the Questor has some stylistic redesigns. During the investigation, Hadji calls in Race and Jonny because the situation is getting weird, but when they arrive, the Questor is abandoned. A psychic investigator offers them his assistance, and they go aboard the Questor to have a seance; the man apparently channels the ghost of Dr. Quest to tell them to stop investigating, and Race locks him up, suspecting he's behind their disappearance. The man escapes aboard a motorboat, and Race and Jonny take a jet ski from the Questor to pursue him.Episode 1.14 In the Wake of Mary Celeste
