The Perfect Storm - Andrea Gail

[@janislade2333]

It’s not fair how fisherman have to go through this. My dad said to me you don’t see fear till you see high waves around, your not sure if crew or boat is going to make it. Your in so much distress when your out in this shit weather. I have so much respect for fisherman because my dad is one. I got scared when I was little and wanted my dad to come home. Forever a fisherman daughter

Of course it's fair. It's a very tough and risky way to earn a living but everyone who goes out there knows that and they've still made the decision to go. They don't have to go through this; they've all freely made the decision that this is what they want to do and have accepted the consequences, conditions, and risks that come with it.

[@justsomeguy3862]

I've been caught in a very bad storm before. I can guarantee you. It's the most scared I've ever been in my life. The power of the ocean is ridiculous. 18 ft fishing vessel. They basically had to pry my hands off the wheel and throttle. I was responsible for all 4 souls on board. Are transome was getting swamped and we were taking on water rapidly. In the rips off Cape May, NJ. It is the scariest thing I've ever experienced. Your dad is not lying.

The reality was that Andrea Gail was 3 days on its steam home due to ice problems not as the movie depicts Captain Tyne giving the crew to go through or wait it out .....We know that Captain Tyne on October 26 to 27 plotted a course back home but the storm hit on the 28th. Poor guys didn't stand a chance

[@toniroberts8117]

Pretty sure those guys were super far out in the ocean, plus the storm was so bad that even rescue people died trying to save people out in that storm. They sure as heck aren’t going to go to extra trouble to retrieve some dead fish.

[@MAnuscript421]

They were at the Flemish Cap. Way beyond the usual fishing grounds. It’s rare to ever go out that far, even though the Cap is still part of the fishing grounds. Most sword fisherman stay relatively close within the Grand Banks, but the sword fish have migrated to the Flemish Cap by this time.

Had to be a rogue wave. If the Andrea Gail had been through similar conditions before, someone must have really gone wrong that night.

The real life story makes it more clear. The storm formed overtop of them without much warning when they were already halfway home after the trip. And you can't drive in a storm. Your boat is going to go wherever the wind and waves push it. All you can do is control which direction the boat points.

The Grand Banks in late October/early November are freezing cold. Plus, 90ft waves; gale force winds and a rogue wave to boot. Survival suits only last a few hours before they wear out. Life jackets make you bob up and down in the water and with the size of the waves, you'd just swallow a lot of crap ton of seawater and drown. Also, Great Whites and Mako's feast on floating bodies.

Were they actually on the way back when they sailed into the storms ? Never understood the actual course at the end or why they did not retreat in the face of bad weather .

[@mikemoyer7015]

Yes, they were headed through the storm because they had a large catch. If they had waited it out, their catch would have spoiled and they’d have made no money. Unfortunately, the Andrea Gail didn’t realize the severity of the storm and thought they could go through it.

[@mikemoyer7015]

The catch would have spoiled because their ice machine stopped functioning.

[@boyscouts83712]

They were faced with a choice: stay where they were and ride out the weather, only to lose thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in fresh caught swordfish and have to throw it overboard and to the birds thus going back broke. Or risk it all with the weather and arrive in port for a major payday. Unfortunately, as they were sailing back, the weather got worse and worse than they were gone. Now their final resting place is at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean among the countless others that have lost their lives to the same career or other things like world wars and etc

[@silverguard8105]

In the movie they knew that they were sailing into a really bad storm. They didn't know 3 weather systems were going to merge. In real life they were on day 3 of they're trip home when one of the storms basically formed on top of them. As another captain said, whatever happened to them happened quickly because Tyne never gave any indication that they were in any trouble. Just that bad weather was coming.

[@slydEvil35]

Fun fact I learned after reading about this movie. A captain cannot call a mayday for another boat so this didn’t happen. Also there wasn’t a conscious stay home or brave the weather decision the storm probably hit them quickly and suddenly and was likely over pretty quickly

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

The boat was already halfway home when they got first warning of bad weather (along with all other vessels off the East Coast) via weatherfax from NOAA. The initial forecast was for mild weather, a bit of wind and some chop. By the time the updated forecast came out, predicting serious and potentially threatening conditions (still under-reporting the conditions the storm would actually end up producing) it was dawn the next day, way too late to turn around - the storm would catch them no matter what at this point.
