The Gathering Wind

Hurricane Sandy, the Sailing Ship Bounty, and a Courageous Rescue at Sea

In October 2012, a replica of the famous HMS Bounty, an eighteenth-century tall sailing ship, was on a collision course with a storm that would become the largest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic-a clash that would prove dramatic, tragic, perplexing, and ultimately one of the most unforgettable stories of Superstorm Sandy. Crewed by an eclectic team of seafarers, the Bounty was led by Robin Walbridge, their highly respected captain with decades at the helm, whose actions-sometimes questionable-decided the fate of his ship and crew. Departing from Connecticut as the storm raced northward from the Caribbean, Walbridge attempted to outmaneuver Sandy, heading the Bounty southeast. As violent gusts tossed the wooden ship, the crew fought to save their beloved Bounty-and finally to save themselves. When waves, wind, and encroaching water finally overtook the ship in an area known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, the crew was suddenly tossed into the churning sea. The Bounty was gone, but their fate was still to be determined. The men and women of a Coast Guard station in North Carolina summoned the courage to fly into hundred-mile-per-hour winds while the residents of the Eastern Seaboard were fleeing or bracing for the hurricane's impact. Through hours of white-knuckle flying, with crew members thrown about their aircraft and rescue swimmers jumping into thirty-foot seas, the Coast Guard accomplished one of its most memorable rescues ever. Based on interviews with Bounty survivors and unfettered access to Coast Guard rescue team members, The Gathering Wind offers not only the first but the most complete account of this heartbreaking, thrilling, and inspirational story.

نقد و بررسی

Freeman tells the dramatic tale of the 2012 sinking of the tall ship BOUNTY (a replica of HMS BOUNTY) off North Carolina and the extraordinary Coast Guard rescue effort to save her crew. This is not a general story of Sandy but one of the most dramatic stories that resulted from the superstorm. David Drummond's clear, hard-edged voice is perfect for this harrowing account of catastrophe and survival. His pace is good, and his pronunciation is always clear. Neither the waves of technical terms used to describe the tall ship nor the spray of jargon associated with the airborne search and rescue phase him. Freeman structures his story well, and Drummond keeps one engaged with learning the fate of BOUNTY's crew. F.C. (c) AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
