The worst storm in history seen from the wheelhouse of a doomed fishing
trawler; a mesmerisingly vivid account of a natural hell from a
perspective that offers no escape.
The ‘perfect storm’ is a once-in-a-hundred-years combination: a high
pressure system from the Great Lakes, running into storm winds over an
Atlantic island – Sable Island – and colliding with a weather system
from the Caribbean: Hurricane Grace.
This is the story of that storm, told through the accounts of
individual fishing boats caught up in the maelstrom, their families
waiting anxiously for news of their return, the rescue services
scrambled to save them. It is the story of the old battle between the
fisherman and the sea, between man and Nature, that awesome and
capricious power which can transform the surface of the Atlantic into
an impossible tumult of water walls and gaping voids, with the capacity
to break an oil tanker in two.
In spare, lyrical prose ‘The Perfect Storm’ describes what happened
when the Andrea Gail looked into the wrathful face of the perfect storm.
