Mayday! Bering Sea

"Witness the dramatic story of the men on board the Alaska Ranger fishing ship when it suddenly capsized in 'Mayday! Berring Sea'. On March 23 2008, the vessel steamed out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska embarking on a 12 day winter fishing mission. In pitch darkness and approximately 190 kilometres into the icy Bering Sea, the ship began to sink leaving 47 fishermen fighting for their lives and battling against six metre waves. The Coast Guard rescue mission that unfolded over the next 14 hours would become the largest and most daring maritime rescue in American history. Witness what happened in the words of those who survived, and the heroic accounts of those who did not."--Discover Press Web website
