A True Story of Men Against the Sea

The Perfect Storm

The incredible true account of the most extraordinary storm of the 20th century, this is the story of a tempest born from so rare a combination of factors it was deemed "perfect" and of the doomed fishing boat with her crew of six that was helpless in the midst of a force beyond comprehension.

The perfect storm

Wynn Netherland

A good read for as much as I learned about the scale of commercial fishing than the (fairly speculative) tale of disaster at sea.

En octubre de 1991 tuvo lugar lo que los meteorólogos denominaron «la tormenta del siglo», un fenómeno imprevisto que azotó la costa este de Norteamérica fruto de una insólita combinación de factores. Con olas de más de treinta metros de altura y vientos de 180 kilómetros por hora, la tormenta sacudió el mar con una violencia extraordinaria.
En La tormenta perfecta, Junger describe las condiciones que dieron lugar a este hecho sin precedentes y reconstruye minuciosamente tres emocionantes historias, la de los seis tripulantes del pesquero Andrea Gail –que desaparecieron a cientos de kilómetros de su hogar en Gloucester, Massachusetts–, la de un velero atrapado en plena tormenta y la del rescate de los tripulantes de un helicóptero de salvamento que cayó al mar.
