 Everyone who made the North Atlantic Cruise in '67 remembers the "Storm
of the Century" where we all thought the ship was going to break up!
While going through his memorabilia, Dan Bickham came across copies of
the message that went out from a Merchant Ship on the distress
frequencies. He sent it along to share it with us. The message was sent
by a civilian merchant marine vessel on the Emergency Broadcast
frequencies. We were in the middle of probably what was the
worst storm I ever encountered in my 20 years. The Arlington was tossed
around like a tug boat. We lost one or two life boats. Bulkheads
even cracked on the Arlington. This merchant ship spotted the Arlington
and sent out this distress message.Ken Cox RM1 |
