Wreck of the Carl D.: A True Story of Loss, Survival, and Rescue at Sea -- Micha

<p>On November 18, 1958, a 623-foot limestone carrier--caught in one of the most violent storms in Lake Michigan history--broke in two and sank in less than five minutes. Four of the 35-person crew escaped to a small raft, to which they clung in total darkness, braving 30-foot waves and frigid temperatures. As the storm raged on, a search-and-rescue mission hunted for survivors, while the frantic citizens of nearby Rogers City, Michigan, the hardscrabble town that was home to 26 members of the <i>Carl D. Bradley</i>'s crew, anxiously awaited word of their loved ones' fates. In <i>Wreck of the </i>Carl D<i>., </i> Michael Schumacher reconstructs the terrible accident, perilous search, and chilling aftermath for the small Michigan town so intimately affected by the tragedy.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Michael Schumacher<br><b>Publisher:</b> Quarry Books<br><b>Published:</b> 09/13/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 264<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.90lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780253222589<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>Michael Schumacher is author of nine books, including <i>Francis Ford Coppola, There but for Fortune, Crossroads, Dharma Lion, </i> and<i> The Mighty Fitz.</i></p></p>
