Recently, gCaptain’s own John Konrad hooked up with his old podcasting partner Peter Mellow of Sea-Fever to bring to us Weekly Leader podcast episode 68. In this episode, they had the opportunity to interview Lloyd’s Lists Shipmaster of The Year, Captain Alwin Landry, who was the master of Tidewater Marine’s OSV Damon Bankston which was tied up to the Deepwater Horizon when it exploded on April 20th. Due to the efforts of Captain Landry and his crew, they were able to rescue all 115 survivors.
Have a listen below to Captain Landry’s interview where he provides some details on what happened that fateful night.
