Just visited there yesterday will vacationing in Rockport where I used to Scuba dive in the 80’s and 90’s and stopped in to the Crows nest for a beer. My wife and I met Greg’s wife Mary Anne working the bar. (Her brother was on the ill fated trip of the Andrea Gail)They had a nice photo album of the making of the movie and lots of photo’s on the wall of the cast and crew and the original crew. We talked and talked to many at the bar and Mary Anne even came outside to get a group photo with all of us. Such a very nice person! May the crew of the Andrea Gail Rest in eternal Peace. So glad we stopped in for a visit. We’ll be back again!

Sad and creepy story. The men just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. What exactly, in detail, happened to the ship, one can only guess. It could be sudden and fast, or it could be long, with all the possible damage control that an experienced crew could provide, fighting the elements at the limit of their strength. Peace be upon all those who perished at sea at all times. Храни бог тех, кто в море! Привет из России! 🇷🇺

Maybe read the book and not go by a Hollywood movie that dramatized a good part of it. What difference would it have made if they stayed or went in the storms path or not, it would have caught them at some point anyways. Besides it wasn't giving that bad when they first left the fishing grounds.

In real life, the storm formed overtop of them when they were already done of the trip and halfway home. They didn't choose to sail through a storm, a storm formed on them and they had no choice in the matter. Don't go believing every little (stupid) thing Hollywood writes

If they were not crushed and drug under by the weight of the waves with undertows with keeping afloat by life vest that would of not helped completely, when the waters started to settle but yet still dangerous to make rescue efforts, sharks would of picked the rest off. But I highly doubt sharks would of got to them before their deaths. Waves of that height would of had the sharks out of the area and if they were in the area, they would of been in very deep water well near the bottom untill the weather eased up a lot.

@@Adamu98 Kinda doubt that idea. They had been fishing the Flemish Cap, the wreck happened near Sable Island, about half was back to Gloucester. The ice maker wasn't working and they were out of bait. They were headed home. They knew they were headed into a storm but had no idea of the severity. Their last radio call with Linda Greenlaw (FV Hannah Borden) indicated that they had had a good trip, were in the storm and holding their own. I tend to agree with @Atlantic Ocean above, something went wrong mechanically. The boat was built in the Gulf area in a time before many builders paid attention to marine architects. Stability was not enforced by the USCG and fishing vessels were not inspected. Worked on one of these in the 70's in Alaska, it sank not long after I got off of it.

The movie paints the crew to be irresponsible and shows them CHOOSING to drive into a dangerous storm. That is not what happened. In real life, nobody knew anything bad had happened to the Andrea Gail. The storm formed overtop of them when they were already halfway home and they had no time or chance to react. The Coast Guard never went looking for them during the storm because nobody knew anything bad had happened to them yet. And the sailboat that had to be rescued was already out at sea, they also got caught because the storm formed on top of them and they couldn't get away in time. It wasn't like people out on the ocean just made the decision to drive into the storm, that would have been suicidal. It just caught everybody by surprise. Also, the Coast Guard and Air National Guard KNOWS that they're risking their own lives to save others and that there's a chance they could die too. That is part of the job

If the movie is accurate the perfect storm should be called the perfect idiots. In the movie they catch all these fish. They are then alerted that there is a hurricane. The captain tells his crew if they the avoid the storm the fish will rot, or they can go right through the storm and keep the fish and sell it. Oh well they made the wrong choice.

Had there been only one storm, Captain Tyne would have made it home. Unfortunately, it was a once in a lifetime occurrence where three storms met. Billy was an experienced Captain with a very experienced crew. Fishing is a hard job in good weather. Have some respect.

The movie was not good at all in regards to the deaths but then again, it explained a lot of what really did occur and if anything served the living family members as a honorable moment knowing how many people cared about their loved ones in which brings peace to their hearts. I can not say the movie was good in the deaths but what I will say it was amazing with a outstanding quality made film. But for anybody to even to consider it as a entertainment movie, those people are sick in their minds as there was is no entertainment in deaths of natural disasters that occured in real life.
