''The Second Voyage of the Mimi'' is a twelve-episode American educational television program depicting a fictional crew of a sailboat named the ''Mimi'' exploring Mayan ruins in Southern Mexico. Along the way, they learn a lot about ancient civilization and also attempt to foil the plans of looters who steal the artifacts from the ancient sites. This series is a sequel to ''The Voyage of the Mimi'', produced in 1984, in which the Granvilles rented their boat and services to zoologists studying the humpback whale in the waters off Massachusetts. The series aired on PBS and was created by the Bank Street College of Education in 1988 to teach middle-schoolers about science and social studies in an interesting and interactive way. In each episode, viewers are taught something scientific relating to plot events in the previous episode of the show. For example, an episode's plot would be about deciphering Mayan writing, and the viewer also receives information about how the Maya wrote various words and numbers. Elementary school teachers will find more than just springboards for archeological lessons in ''The Second Voyage of the Mimi'', but also springboards for lessons in writing techniques, social studies, linguistics and history. ==Cast== ''The Second Voyage of the Mimi'' saw a young Ben Affleck return as C.T.
