This book discusses the replica of the HMS Bounty that was caught in Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012. The crew attempted to avoid Hurricane Sandy as it charged up the Atlantic coast, but they were unable to. The ship was caught up in rough seas and terrible conditions, ironically in the area that is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. (Morbid...) The description of the conditions that the crew and the rescuers faced were harrowing and anxiety inducing to read.

When I bought this book, I thought this was about a very old ship and a completely different hurricane of the same name. I got this out of the disaster section of my favorite local used bookstore for a dollar, and I didn't really pay attention. I was quite shocked to learn this was a modern ship and modern hurricane. At any rate, the story was certainly dramatic. The author did a great job writing about the event in a way that was educational and also very entertaining. I always feel a little strange saying that I enjoy books with morbid content, but I really did enjoy this one.
