SOS - good reads at gCaptain

gCaptain is currently featuring two posts that may be of interest to readers here.

Today's post on the capsize and rescue of SV Sean Seamor II is here. My colleague and gCaptain founder, John Konrad authored this post.

Yesterday's post on the salvage of Cougar Ace is here. I features the efforts of a heroic crew, that saved a car carrier. The article was posted by your's truly.

Both posts have tons of background and reference information.

The Cougar Ace salvage story is surely incredible the risks those guys took.

That owners Mitsui OSK refused to then rename her "Marty Johnson" is unbelievable and callous. It shows that Japanese management people dont think the way we do. Renaming a ship is a very easy procedure and is often done to please a timecharterer, at minimal cost.
