The plan was to fill the hold with swordfish and return within a month or so, but that depended on the crew\u2019s luck \u2014 and not long after the ship arrived at the Grand Banks, they realized they didn\u2019t have much.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on October 29, the 40th day of their extended commercial fishing trip, three devastating storms converged, sending waves as high as 100 feet and striking the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0with winds reaching 92 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>Of the six men on board the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0that day, none of them made it home.

It was equipped with seven life preservers, plus six survival suits, a life raft, and an emergency beacon.<\/p>\n<p>It should have been able to weather any storm. Its owner, Bob Brown \u2014 known as Suicide Brown among the locals, due to the risks he took as a young fisher \u2014 had taken the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0on dozens of excursions before, and this one was shaping up to be no different for its new crew.<\/p>\n<p>Captained by Frank \u201cBilly\u201d Tyne, a young and fearless captain who had braved many storms before, the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0was seemingly more than prepared for anything the ocean could throw at it. Alongside Captain Tyne were David Sullivan, Alfred Pierre, Bobby Shatford, Dale Murphy, and Michael \u201cBugsy\u201d Moran.<\/p>\n<p>The six-man crew set sail aboard the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0on Sept. 20, 1991, ready to haul back tons of swordfish and make, ideally, tons of cash.

When Grace came up against this anticyclone, it literally bounced off of it and headed back out to sea.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, Grace collided with a low-pressure system that had been developing over Quebec and traveling eastward off the Canadian Maritimes, causing a strange stall off the coast of Nova Scotia. It was at this conjunction point that the storms converged and began to grow rapidly, producing massive waves and gale-force winds. Once more, it reversed directions, heading back toward New England.<\/p>\n<p>But back on board the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail,<\/em>\u00a0things seemed to be turning around \u2014 Tyne\u2019s decision to try Flemish Cap had paid off. The holds were filled with enough swordfish to earn every man on board a big paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>On October 27, Captain Tyne decided to pack it in and head home. The next day, the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0made contact with another ship fishing in the area, the\u00a0<em>Allison<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Around 6 p.m. on October 28, Tyne reported to the\u00a0<em>Allison<\/em>\u00a0that he and his crew were 130 miles north-northeast of Sable Island and already experiencing 80-knot winds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s comin\u2019 on, boys,\u201d he said, \u201cand she\u2019s comin\u2019 on strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Loss Of The\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gloucestertimes.com\/news\/local_news\/what-really-happened-to-the-andrea-gail\/article_948952e0-0c80-5f81-9b18-0cc80be6a629.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Gloucester Times<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u2018s last communication was with another ship called the\u00a0<em>Hannah Boden<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Greenlaw, the captain of the\u00a0<em>Hannah Boden<\/em>, remembered later, \u201cI wanted a weather report, and Billy [Tyne] wanted a fishing report.

Wind gusts of 70 miles per hour were whipping across the surface of the sea, and waves some 30 feet high were crashing onto the shores.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Boston Globe<\/em>\u00a0reported at the time that the winds \u201ctossed [boats] like beach toys [in] the surf.\u201d Houses were pulled off their foundations by the rising water.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the storm was over, it had caused nearly $500 million in damage and 13 deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Meteorologists remained divided about what exactly had caused this \u201cperfect storm\u201d to grow so suddenly before retrograding. At the time, the National Weather Service and Environment Canada concluded that it must have had something to do with the counter-clockwise spin of Hurricane Grace meeting with the clockwise swirl of the anticyclone. They believed that this collision created a funnel that caused it to rapidly increase in speed.<\/p>\n<p>As it traveled westward, it gathered more moisture and energy from the dying hurricane, and grew increasingly vicious. The technical term for the event was a \u201cmidlatitude cyclone,\u201d though most people who experienced it began to refer to it as the No Name Hurricane, since it was just as strong as any other hurricane, just without the designation.<\/p>\n<p>Some have even taken to calling it the Halloween Gale, given that it struck the Eastern Seaboard on October 31.<\/p>\n<p>That same day, the Coast Guard started a massive search for the crew of the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>. There was no sign of the ship or the crew until November 5, when the ship\u2019s emergency beacon washed ashore on Sable Island off the coast of Canada. Eventually, more debris turned up, but the crew and ship were never seen again.<\/p>\n<h2>Dramatizations Of The\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u2018s Disappearance<\/h2>\n<p>The story of the shipwreck was eventually told in a book by Sebastian Junger titled\u00a0<em>The Perfect Storm<\/em>\u00a0in 1997. In 2000, it was adapted into a movie with the same title, starring George Clooney.<\/p>\n<p>In the movie, the\u00a0<em>Andrea Gail<\/em>\u00a0was swamped by a massive wave in the middle of the storm. In truth, no one is sure what happened to the ship or its crew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the book was true, well researched, and well written,\u201d Maryanne Shatford, sister of missing crewman Bob Shatford, told Boston.com. \u201cIt was the movie that was too Hollywood. They wanted it to be a story more than it was between the characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Linda Greenlaw, \u201cMy one gripe about\u00a0<em>The Perfect Storm<\/em>\u00a0movie was how Warner Brothers depicted Billy Tyne and his crew as making a very conscious decision to steam into a storm that they knew was dangerous. That is not what happened.
