Summary

The men on the SS Marine Electric sailed into a storm in February 1983 not knowing that they would make history - at a great cost in lives. Just three men survived the wreck of the Marine Electric off the shores of Virginia and they found that their struggle had just begun once they got back to shore. Blamed for the wreck, they fought back and broke a code of silence that had covered up sloppy ship inspections for decades and revealed the flaws in old World War II rust buckets that were still at sea long past their functional lifetime.

A story of adventure at sea and survival in the court systems, Until the Sea Shall Free Them takes on the issues The Perfect Storm presented.

Profile Image for Dave

The shipwreck story that changed US shipping.

A well written and carefully assembled narrative. Engaging and exciting while remaining on target with important issues.
Exposes the collusion of ship owners, coastguard and unions which meant unseaworthy vessels continued to sail and sink.
It includes sensitive treatment of the families of victims without being overly sentimental or melancholy.
If you enjoy stories about shipping then you'll find this more than interesting!
