Sole
Survivor: Dennis Hale's Own Story On November 29th, 1966, the Great Lakes ore freighter
Daniel J. Morrell was northbound in Lake Huron, fighting gale-force winds and tremendous
waves. Suddenly, with no warning, the Morrell began to break in half. Within minutes, the
Morrell's crewmen were cast to the mercy of the stormy and frigid lake. No distress signal
had been sent, and it would be more than a day before the Morrell was reported overdue. Of
her crew, of twenty-nine, only one man, Dennis Hale, survived. In this book, for the first
time, Hale tells the whole story of his survival in the face of incredible odds, as well
as the events leading up to and following his ordeal. This book is a must, not only for
those interested in Great Lakes maritime history, but for its story of the triumph of the
human spirit in times of adversity. |
