On a warm May morning in 1986, twelve crew members sailed the Atlantic aboard the Pride of Baltimore, unaware that a desperate fight for survival was only hours away. Without warning, a fierce storm with 70-knot winds overwhelmed the schooner. Within minutes, Pride sank hundreds of miles from land, leaving four dead and eight crew members fighting for their lives.
In this book talk, veteran journalist Tom Waldron takes you inside Pride of Baltimore, from her celebrated launch to her final voyage. Pride of the Sea tells the vivid story of those who survived and those who were lost—and examines what caused the disaster and who was responsible. The program will include an introduction by Jan Miles, long-time Captain of Pride of Baltimore II and executive Director of Pride of Baltimore, Inc.
