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.

I was brought to tears when the father said “my son isn’t going to take this very well” I’m a father and that hit me home

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.

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!

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 that's kinda hard to come by these day an times .. May they all rest easy

I sailed this storm system as a trainee on the schooner Ernestina. Still today in 2024 I think of those who weren't able to make it home so often.

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
