An Extraordinary Storm, a Miraculous Survival
This is one of the great tales of man against the elements.
In February 1968, in a howling gale from the North Pole, fishermen fought desperately for their lives, hacking at the deadly ice that caked their vessels. When a wave swamped the hull of the trawler Ross Cleveland, she went down in minutes. It was reported that she had gone down with all hands. Yet thirty-six hours later First Mate Harry Eddom was found alive, after an incredible ordeal.
Harry Eddom's "return from the dead" was international headline news. Ottar Sveinsson's vivid account is based on contemporary reports and interviews with the participants in those tragic and heroic events, including the exclusive account of Harry Eddom. It is one of the most tragic, and amazing, sea stories ever.
