October 29: (1991) The Andrea Gail Incident

In 1991, the American fishing vessel Andrea Gail and its six-member crew were lost at sea near Sable Island in the North Atlantic Ocean. Caught in a fierce storm, the vessel's fate became the inspiration for Sebastian Junger's best-selling book and the subsequent film adaptation, "The Perfect Storm." This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the perils faced by commercial fishermen and the unpredictable power of nature.

Great movie. Sad it is based on a true story, but glad their story was told.
