Robert Frump s Until the Sea Shall Free Them has an unusual setting: off the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, in February 1983. There the merchant vessel Marine Electric, a coal carrier converted from a World War II-vintage Liberty ship, participated in the rescue of a fishing boat caught in a fierce storm, only to be herself overwhelmed by the raging sea. Though only 30 miles off the coast, the Marine Electric had no chance to survive, and heroic Coast Guard helicopter pilots and Navy rescue divers were barely able to save a handful of survivors.

If I could do anything right now, what would it be? It was that simple question that began an adventure of a lifetime, leading Merton to quit his job, leave everything he'd ever worked for, and pursue his lifelong dream of sailing the South Pacific.
