In 1983, the freighter Marine Electric ran into a violent storm off
the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Despite Force 10
conditions and fifty feet waves the crew were unconcerned: the ship
had survived worse. But something was wrong, the ship was beginning
to break up under them; gradually it began to go down by the head,
then to capsize. Within two hours the crew were in the water in a
desperate struggle for their lives. Their plight sparked one of the
most dramatic air-sea rescues in maritime history. Only three of
the 34 crew survived the night. The ship had sunk due to a serious
structural defect. The chief mate Bob Cusick discovered that the
owners had lost several other ships in similar circumstances to the
Marine Electric, but the sinkings had been covered up. He decided
to go after the company and they in turn rounded on him, the sole
surviving officer. What follows is an epic and epochal court case
that left none of the participants unscarred.
