On October 28, 1991, a perfect storm created monster waves in the North Atlantic. Some folks called it a "Nor'easter". The National Weather Service (NWS) called it "The Perfect Storm." The Andrea Gail, a fishing boat from Gloucester, was trapped in the middle of it. Too far from land, Billy Tyne, her captain, could not escape to a safe harbor. Too small for the swirling ocean, the Andrea Gail was lost at sea. She and her crew were never seen again. The Perfect Storm had swallowed them.
In "The Perfect Storm" (the book), Sebastian Junger popularized their fate. In The Perfect Storm brought to you by LawBuzz.com, you will follow links to see the real places and people in the story. Listen to an on-line recorded interview with Linda Greenlaw (played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in the movie). See the Andrea Gail herself plus the Hannah Boden (captained by Linda Greenlaw). Look at the maps of the fishing grounds and learn about an amazing coincidence: The Andrea Gail was not the only ship to famously meet her fate off Newfoundland's Grand Banks. Links to everything you wanted to see when you read Junger's book "The Perfect Storm" are now in one place ... Brought to you by LawBuzz.com.
