Getting back to the original title and theme of this thread: Just finished reading a new release: "Into the Raging Sea: Thirty Three Mariners One Megastorm & the Sinking of El Faro" by Rachel Slade, about the worst US maritime disaster since WW II: the 2015 loss of an American cargo ship during Hurricane Joaquin. Riveting, heartbreaking, and infuriating -- but most of all hugely informative on many topics of direct interest to anyone going to sea on any sort of craft.
