Ten hours until dawn by Michael J. Tougias

Ten Hours Until Dawn: The True Story of Heroism and Tragedy Aboard the Can DoTen Hours Until Dawn: The True Story of Heroism and Tragedy Aboard the Can Do by Michael Tougias
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the story of the loss of the pilot boat "Can do" during the the Blizzard of 78 that hit New England in February of 1978. I had previously heard a little bit about this tragedy but knew only scarce detail. It has it's share of heroism and tragedy. A worthy tale for those that are interested in tales of maritime history.
