[quote=Tomick] A very sad loss of life and the ship, it makes you wonder why it was out at sea when the storm had been long predicted..http://www.dailymail.co....-pieces-Superstorm.html[/quote] It does indeed Mr T. Terrifying for the crew no doubt, but bravo for the rescue efforts of the US Coast-Guard, putting themselves in harms way. What a sad loss of a beautiful and iconic ship. Let us hope they build a replacement to honour those who lost their lives. The sea is an unforgiving maiden, may they rest in peace.
