On October 1, 2015, the SS El Faro, a cargo ship tall as a hundred-story building that made a regular run between Jacksonville, Florida, and Puerto Rico, delivering everything from razor blades to new Chevrolet cars, disappeared in Hurricane Joaquin, a category 4 storm. The ship, her hundreds of shipping containers, and her entire crew sank to the bottom of the ocean, three miles down. The sinking was the greatest seagoing US merchant marine shipping disaster since World War II.

Beautiful book about tragic event
Revisado: 07-20-20
While I usually don’t read nonfiction, I absolutely loved this book. You don’t have to know a lot about boats or storms to find the book fascinating. I loved the descriptions of the ship’s crew – the writer really makes them come alive. While there was a lot of technical description in the book about things that eventually led to its demise, it’s not dry and boring. Rather, all this description of the most minute details draws you in and makes you feel like an insider who watches in horror as events unfold. It is a beautiful book about a tragic event.
