Title: Disaster of the Sea
Review: The sinking of the Pride of Baltimore has always been a distinctive mark in my memory. My husband and I were only a blip on the sea when this sad incident happened, but I recall the news with a jolt. We were anchored at Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, when a very unusual storm surge rolled in from the wrong direction. It was a small part of the same storm that took the Pride some 250 miles north. This book is the well-told story of each of the crew's background and how they came together to sail on this coveted journey. I appreciated the book's true facts up to and surrounding this event, instead of merely speculating about what really happened. A great book with unfortunate circumstances, but with the construction of the Pride of Baltimore II to carry on the tradition, it is a salute to all who were affected.
