In the midst of the Blizzard of 1978, the tanker Global Hope floundered on the shoals in Salem Sound off the Massachusetts coast.
Using dozens of interview and audiotapes that recorded every word exchanged between Quirk and the Coast Guard, Tougias has written a devastating, True account of bravery and death at sea, in Ten Hours Until Dawn ..
Gathering his crew of four, he readied his forty-nine-foot steel boat, the Can Do, and entered the maelstrom of the blizzard.
Pilot boat Captain Frank Quirk was monitoring the Coast Guard\'s efforts by radio, and when he heard that the patrol boat was in jeopardy, he decided to act.
Within an hour, the Coast Guard boat was in as much trouble as the tanker, having lost its radar, depth finder, and engine power in horrendous seas.
The Coast Guard heard the Mayday calls and immediately dispatched a patrol boat.
