- Summary
- [T]his superb narrative deals with the blizzard of 1978, which hammered New England with hurricane-force winds and torrents of snow. When the tanker Global Hope ran aground off Salem, Massachusetts, and Coast Guard rescuers quickly got in trouble, pilot-boat skipper and ex-Seabee Frank Quirk took his converted yacht Can Do into the teeth of the gale to rescue even the rescuers. Then the weather took down Can Do's radio and power, and she eventually went on the rocks and was lost with all hands. Tougias has researched exhaustively and written what amounts to a collective biography of Quirk and his right good crew, including their families and the suffering they endured after husbands and fathers died. His balancing of human and technical detail is nearly perfect, and he has made the book accessible even to relative newcomers to maritime literature. --Roland Green Copyright 2005 Booklist
