The movie had brought me to tears followed by the intense research I did on the crew. Rest in peace to the crew and my condolences go out to the families.
Just visited there yesterday will vacationing in Rockport where I used to Scuba dive in the 80’s and 90’s and stopped in to the Crows nest for a beer. My wife and I met Greg’s wife Mary Anne working the bar. (Her brother was on the ill fated trip of the Andrea Gail)They had a nice photo album of the making of the movie and lots of photo’s on the wall of the cast and crew and the original crew. We talked and talked to many at the bar and Mary Anne even came outside to get a group photo with all of us. Such a very nice person! May the crew of the Andrea Gail Rest in eternal Peace. So glad we stopped in for a visit. We’ll be back again!
I love the ocean, fishing and this story... I'm glad they gave it the attention it deserved.. may each of the men that lost their lives rest peacefully. My takeaway is that the ocean is to be respected.
The things men do to uphold thier families only to be seen as "simple". Im not a fisher man but I did loose a few boys out there when Katrina unleashed her rage on the south
I was born in 97... remember having it on video cassette 🙃 the cover always freaked me out but I really liked the movie, it’s been years since I’ve watched it
So sad to see fishermen and ⛵️ sailors loss their lives like Andrea Gail and Edmund's Fitzgerald 29 men .very brave and fearless grew may they rest in peace 🙏 👖👔👕👓🚢🚟⚓️⛵️🛳💧🌊
I visited Gloucester and went whale watching out there a few years ago. It is a very friendly place and the people there are wonderful. People I walked past smiled and said hello and it’s a nice place to visit.
I was on the Machel Lynn , captain James Balance what a rough ride coming in to shore man the size of the waves what a great experience in my life, 😲 😳...
No matter the decisions made,no matter the timely matter they was made in..I'm sure they were made in the best interest of all the guys on board... not one thing could've prepared anyone for the events that took place that day... Its just sad ...Seems they took honor an pride in their means for making a living.....an that's kinda hard to come by these day an times .. May they all rest easy
while not as horrible as this storm i was in a terrible storm in the Atlantic in the winter of 1951, a 6 day trip was from South Hampton England to NY took 11 days via Halifax Canada.
I'm had you made it through any bad weather at sea kinda makes me you wanna tuck into the craw space of the boat and hide I've heard I've heard it's very harder on water then is it on land
I was born in 01 and the perfect storm was the first movie I remember watching when I was like 2, I was addicted to it and had my mother put it on for me when I went to bed. I'd skip it to the rouge wave part always hoping they would make it. Still my favorite til today. Lol
I remember being 1 playing football with my father and grandfather. I ain't got the best memory but I sure as hell remember alot from my childhood. 2 turning 3 I started playing gta san Andreas. (Hijacking trains and listening to KDST.) 4 played the scarface game and on my 5th birthday my dad got me the movie. I think I remember alot because I had a crazy childhood with alot of fucked up things but also alot of good times.
@@jeffsmith2022 that's not true my daughter just told me something that happen when she was two and my jaw dropped I was flaberghasted and she's 26 years old and it was true because i remember that day but I only can remember things from 5 on up .
Sad and creepy story. The men just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. What exactly, in detail, happened to the ship, one can only guess. It could be sudden and fast, or it could be long, with all the possible damage control that an experienced crew could provide, fighting the elements at the limit of their strength. Peace be upon all those who perished at sea at all times. Храни бог тех, кто в море! Привет из России! 🇷🇺
In the movie, the boat’s captain decided to intentionally go into the path of the storm. A decision made for economic gain and the in the best interest of crew safety. The Captain failed his crew and is responsible for the crew’s death.
Maybe read the book and not go by a Hollywood movie that dramatized a good part of it. What difference would it have made if they stayed or went in the storms path or not, it would have caught them at some point anyways. Besides it wasn't giving that bad when they first left the fishing grounds.
In real life, the storm formed overtop of them when they were already done of the trip and halfway home. They didn't choose to sail through a storm, a storm formed on them and they had no choice in the matter. Don't go believing every little (stupid) thing Hollywood writes
Austin Wood being a commercial fisherman in New England I believe they had a mechanical failure and it left them in a doomed state. Most boats will get you home safely no matter what the weather is. Just my opinion
@@Adamu98 Kinda doubt that idea. They had been fishing the Flemish Cap, the wreck happened near Sable Island, about half was back to Gloucester. The ice maker wasn't working and they were out of bait. They were headed home. They knew they were headed into a storm but had no idea of the severity. Their last radio call with Linda Greenlaw (FV Hannah Borden) indicated that they had had a good trip, were in the storm and holding their own. I tend to agree with @Atlantic Ocean above, something went wrong mechanically. The boat was built in the Gulf area in a time before many builders paid attention to marine architects. Stability was not enforced by the USCG and fishing vessels were not inspected. Worked on one of these in the 70's in Alaska, it sank not long after I got off of it.
@@denali9449 wow thats a incredible story. I knew the andrea gail was built during the oil crisis and was severely underpowered and unstable. I thought the ice maker issue was only a movie thing to drive the plot of the movie but hey you learn something new everyday.
@@matthewjarosz4121 I watched it recently but had to duck out right before then ending, when I left it looked like they were going to get rescued, my bad
@@CarlosMartinez-ve6iu ..... Obviously with 80 to 100 foot waves, none of them would of survived. If they were not crushed and drug under by the weight of the waves with undertows with keeping afloat by life vest that would of not helped completely, when the waters started to settle but yet still dangerous to make rescue efforts, sharks would of picked the rest off. But I highly doubt sharks would of got to them before their deaths. Waves of that height would of had the sharks out of the area and if they were in the area, they would of been in very deep water well near the bottom untill the weather eased up a lot.
The story makes me angry. Just think of all of the lives that were affected. All of the families and loved ones not to mention that brave man and his loved ones who served in our coast guard who also lost his life all because of unprofessional, unwise decisions and pride! If anyone is going to fish out on that huge ocean then you better know what you're doing and use wisdom!
The movie paints the crew to be irresponsible and shows them CHOOSING to drive into a dangerous storm. That is not what happened. In real life, nobody knew anything bad had happened to the Andrea Gail. The storm formed overtop of them when they were already halfway home and they had no time or chance to react. The Coast Guard never went looking for them during the storm because nobody knew anything bad had happened to them yet. And the sailboat that had to be rescued was already out at sea, they also got caught because the storm formed on top of them and they couldn't get away in time. It wasn't like people out on the ocean just made the decision to drive into the storm, that would have been suicidal. It just caught everybody by surprise. Also, the Coast Guard and Air National Guard KNOWS that they're risking their own lives to save others and that there's a chance they could die too. That is part of the job
If the movie is accurate the perfect storm should be called the perfect idiots. In the movie they catch all these fish. They are then alerted that there is a hurricane. The captain tells his crew if they the avoid the storm the fish will rot, or they can go right through the storm and keep the fish and sell it. Oh well they made the wrong choice.
I was born and raised and still live in Gloucester. Those men were hardly idiots. If you understood what happened then you would not have made that statement. Had there been only one storm, Captain Tyne would have made it home. Unfortunately, it was a once in a lifetime occurrence where three storms met. Billy was an experienced Captain with a very experienced crew. Fishing is a hard job in good weather. Have some respect.
@@NicolePoliskey Yeah I know fishing is hard work. If the movie is historically accurate they still made a lethally boneheaded move. Keep the fish and die or dump the fish and live what's your choice?
attilathehun0 I understand you thinking that but had the storms not occurred the way they did they would have made it home. I worry about family members especially Bobby’s sister Maryanne having to see comments like these. It is just disrespectful. She adored her brother and is a humble, classy woman that doesn’t need to see people calling her experienced brother being called an idiot. It’s unnecessary.
The movie was not good at all in regards to the deaths but then again, it explained a lot of what really did occur and if anything served the living family members as a honorable moment knowing how many people cared about their loved ones in which brings peace to their hearts. I can not say the movie was good in the deaths but what I will say it was amazing with a outstanding quality made film. But for anybody to even to consider it as a entertainment movie, those people are sick in their minds as there was is no entertainment in deaths of natural disasters that occured in real life.
