The Perfect StormHarborwatch Recommends

The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea -- by Sebastian Junger

Hopefully, this is as close as you will get to understanding what happens to a fishing boat that goes down at sea… without actually being there.

The October 1991 storm that hit the East Coast was a rare combination of meteorological elements that created waves over 100 feet high. The storm was so violent that it ripped containers off container carriers. The Perfect Storm is the story of a swordfish boat, the Andrea Gail, and her crew of six. The book takes you from the point of getting ready to go out in questionable conditions to the harrowing search and rescue. Although there were no survivors the author pulls together accounts and information surrounding the storm to piece together an incredible true story of fishermen and the sea.       Buy it at.... 90X29-w-logo.gif (1557 bytes)
