Description

On November 18, 1958, a 623-foot limestone carrier―caught in one of the vital violent storms in Lake Michigan history―broke in two and sank in lower than five minutes. Four of the 35-person crew escaped to a small raft, to which they clung in total darkness, braving 30-foot waves and frigid temperatures. Because the storm raged on, a search-and-rescue mission hunted for survivors, whilst the frantic citizens of nearby Rogers City, Michigan, the hardscrabble the city that used to be home to 26 members of the Carl D. Bradley’s crew, anxiously awaited word in their family members’ fates. In Wreck of the Carl D., Michael Schumacher reconstructs the terrible twist of fate, perilous search, and chilling aftermath for the small Michigan the city so intimately suffering from the tragedy.
