Deep Sea Detect winter.disa

January 1999. In less than two weeks, three clam fishing boats and 10 men are lost inexplicably off the Eastern seaboard--two off the New Jersey shore and one near Cape Cod. The vessels--the Beth Dee Bob, Cape Fear, and Adriatic--all sank suddenly, with almost no warning. While the weather may have been a factor in each sinking, these were experienced crews and they had survived worse. Deep Sea Detectives John Chatterton and Richie Kohler try to find common denominators in the sinkings, hoping to provideanswers for the still-grieving families. Were the vessels safe when they set sail? How did the captains run their boats? Is there something about clamming itself that could present a vital clue? Chatterton, a former clam fisherman, has his own theories.
