Thanks, and I see from your list that you've read "Halsey’s Typhoon". That's another almost unbelievable account of survival at sea during an event few know about.
One of the stories that blew me away was the account of the guys body surfing down the waves, calling out to each other and joking.
The uncrushable human spirit on display there.
I can’t imagine the terror of being below decks in one of those vessels in pitch black, huddled with your shipmates, saying the Lord’s prayer, and each time the ship took a roll, never knowing if that was going to be the one that would do them in.
Terrifying.
