I was mightly impressed with the research and writing of this book. Though a hefty 400 pages, it read smoothly.
Occassionally, early on, I was disappointed with the side-tracks ... the reporting on other vessel wrecks or seaches or the history of some of the people, but as I got further into it I realized how it helped create a complete picture of the incident in question.
A good read of a disappointing loss of life.
