"The author takes the reader dramatically through a total 'you are there' experience as the great ore boat and its crew battle the treacherous elements and plunge wildly and disastraously to the depths. He builds up to his definitive account of the lake, the storm, and the tragedy by examining the lives of each of the crew members, their immediate families, and their goals and plans before the fateful November '75 day, and follows through with the official investigations and thoughtfully treats the grief and disbelief of the crew's families." from the jacket flap.
