No one could fathom how a vessel equipped with satellite communications, a sophisticated navigation system, and cutting-edge weather forecasting could suddenly vanish – until now.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eRelying on hundreds of exclusive interviews with family members and maritime experts, as well as the words of the crew members themselves – whose conversations were captured by the ship’s data recorder – journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery of the sinking of \u003cem\u003eEl Faro\u003c\/em\u003e. As she recounts the final twenty-four hours onboard, Slade vividly depicts the officers’ anguish and fear as they struggled to carry out Captain Michael Davidson’s increasingly bizarre commands, which, they knew, would steer them straight into the eye of the storm. Taking a hard look at America’s aging merchant marine fleet, Slade also reveals the truth about modern shipping – a cutthroat industry plagued by razor-thin profits and ever more violent hurricanes fueled by global warming.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eA richly reported account of a singular tragedy, \u003cem\u003eInto the Raging Sea\u003c\/em\u003e takes us into the heart of an age-old American industry, casting new light on the hardworking crew of \u003cem\u003eEl Faro\u003c\/em\u003e who paid the ultimate price in the name of profit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40942906933345,"sku":"9780008302474","price":13.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28443185.jpg?v=1722592164","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780008302474-into-the-raging-sea","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
