Description
When a fishing vessel sinks suddenly in a savage storm, its crew is left to drift in freezing Alaskan waters without a life raft. A desperate mission begins as a Coast Guard crew risks everything to rescue the survivors. This is the true account of the La Conte's final voyage and the relationship between Alaskan fishermen and the search and rescue crews who risk their lives to save them.
Meticulously researched through hundreds of hours of taped interviews with the survivors, this book is a harrowing and devastating account of the La Conte's final voyage. It is the culmination of the author's years as a deckhand in Alaska, as revealed in his previous memoir, Working on the Edge.
