A more informed & succinct accounting of what might have sunk the Fitz!
The book details the author's (Captain Paquette) amateur meteorologist status, which gave him greater insight into how the weather system that ultimately claimed the Fitzgerald set up. Captain read the charts and came to a different conclusion than the official forecast, which gave him the opportunity to secure his ship and crew from the worst of the storm. It's interesting that, perhaps, the rest of the lake captains were either unaware of Captain Paquette's hobby, or trusted the official forecasts more, but the Captain forecast the storm track more accurately than the official forecast. Whether or not McSorley was more determined to stay on schedule or whether he thought the forecasting was accurate, he made a tragic miscalculation - with his ship, his crew, and of the weather. This brings to light things that the "official" report of the tragedy did not. Well worth your time & expense to get your hands on this very intriguing tale!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
