Decker Watson: The Sinking of the Scandies Rose, Gebunden

Klappentext

The Perfect Storm meets The Wager in this pulse-pounding saga about a deadly Alaskan shipwreck, a heroic search and rescue mission, and a Coast Guard investigation that trained its crosshairs on everyone involved, including the survivors.

On New Year's Eve, 2019, the Scandies Rose--- a 130-foot commercial crab and cod fishing vessel---was steaming toward the Bering Sea in a terrible storm. The captain was one of the most experienced and respected in the Alaskan fleet. But within two minutes of sending out a mayday call, all communications ceased. He and his crew faced the dark, icy sea---and choices no one should ever be forced to make.

Drawing on extensive interviews, testimonies, and his years embedded in America's fishing communities, the Emmy Award--winning showrunner of Deadliest Catch reconstructs the ship's harrowing final voyage with a level of understanding only an insider could provide. Watson follows the lives of the seven men aboard the Scandies Rose , the brave Coast Guard helicopter and airplane crews who launched into the storm to search for them, and the family members left seeking answers among the wreckage.

This page-turning blend of true crime and survival story takes you behind the scenes of the disaster, and straight into the guts of Alaska's $5.3 billion seafood industry. It leads you deep into the fishermen's lives. Finally, it builds to a high-stakes hearing to expose the failures that dragged good sailors to the ocean floor.
