Story
On October 1, 2015, the SS El Faro, a cargo ship tall as a hundred-story building that made a regular run between Jacksonville, Florida, and Puerto Rico, delivering everything from razor blades to new Chevrolet cars, disappeared in Hurricane Joaquin, a category 4 storm. The ship, her hundreds of shipping containers, and her entire crew sank to the bottom of the ocean, three miles down. The sinking was the greatest seagoing US merchant marine shipping disaster since World War II.

Great book
Reviewed: 05-10-18
I very much enjoyed this book. The writer gave a very accurate look into life in the merchant marines, the working of a ship, and I believe an accurate account of the events leading to the loss of the El Faro. I definitely recommend. I found myself sitting in the car in the parking lot because I didn’t want to stop listening.
