I listen to these guys all the time however this was a weak effort! Why? Because they started out good , but then digressed all over the place. They could have easily broadened their analysis on the 'Edmund Fitzgerald' incident.

The previous Captain Peter Pulcer who was renown for blasting music through a speaker-system he had on the ship while the crew was heading out on the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. People along the shore loved it!

They could have really brought to life the hour-by-hour evolution of the actual event itself from the time they left port to the last communication between Captain Jesse Cooper of the 'Arthur Anderson' and the last contacts with Captain McSorley.

Also the way the wind rapidly changed directions mulitiple times during the final hrs. The oceans power represents one of the most intimidating to confront and absorb! Maybe that why I love Melville so much.

Their was the sinking of the 'El Farro' ship carrying frozen chickens basically under the turbulence of Hurricane Joaquin- the whole bridge was discovered to have been ripped completely off from the ship and found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm not gonna complain too much! These guys do a good job!!!
