On November 18, 1958, a 623-foot limestone carrier caught in one
of the most violent storms in Lake Michigan history broke in two
and sank in less than five minutes. Four of the 35-person crew
escaped to a small raft, to which they clung in total darkness,
braving 30-foot waves and frigid temperatures. As the storm raged
on, a search-and-rescue mission hunted for survivors, while the
frantic citizens of nearby Rogers City, Michigan, the hardscrabble
town that was home to 26 members of the Carl D. Bradley's crew,
anxiously awaited word of their loved ones' fates. In Wreck of the
Carl D., Michael Schumacher reconstructs the terrible accident,
perilous search, and chilling aftermath for the small Michigan town
so intimately affected by the tragedy."
