In 1983 the Marine Electric, a reconditioned World War II vessel, was on a routine voyage thirty miles off the East Coast of the United States when disaster struck: The old coal carrier sank in the frigid fortyfoot waves and subzero winds of the Atlantic, and of the thirtyfour men aboard, only three survived. Until the Sea Shall Free Them recounts in compelling detail the wreck of the Marine Electric and the legal drama that unfolded in its wakea lawsuit that led to vital reforms in the laws regarding the safety of ships.
