Book Description
Dawes (whose command of the Warrington ended just 14 days before it sank) strikes a balance between: tribute to the men who lost their lives when the ship went down in a hurricane off the coast of Florida, and a grim dissection of the mistakes which led to the tragedy. The author argues that negligence in heeding weather warnings, poor maintenance, and the inexperience of the commanders all contributed to the sinking. He also questions the treatment received by the survivors by the Court of Inquiry, and its failure to recognize their heroism. The appendices include meteorological notes, action reports, and survivor listings. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
