At first, when I thought that this was the steel hulled replica, I was not so grieved. Turns out it was an all wood version. Sea Going Prop comment above is well noted. I too also immediately thought that this was an Insurance – Suicide event. Crew, as adults, should have exercised some independent judgement. We do better with our little canoe and kayak outings.

Sorry for the loss, of the vessel I was caught in port by Sandy, in Poquoson, VA and road out the storm in my slip it was a long week but my 1963 Choey Lee Turandot held fast without a scratch or even any extra lines. There are two schools of thought on sailing to keep in mind, one is a boat has a better chance off shore in a storm and the other is better safe in dry dock than in the water, neither of which I followed, but I’m still here and safe.

He was probably following orders from the owner, who had been trying unsuccessfully to sell the ship and would not have shed tears for its loss and subsequent insurance settlement. The loss of life was certainly not in the plan, but that is a consequence of this kind of stupidity and greed.

Extraordinary loss of a magnificent ship, but far worse is the tragic loss of life on the anniversary of the October 30, 1991 arrival of the infamous "perfect storm". For some, life is short; for others, life is long and filled with irony. God bless those who survive the horror, and for those who failed to, R.I.P.
