FEATURES
The Andrea Gail, an un-inspected commercial fishing vessel departed Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, September 20, 1991 with six crew members on board. The crew intended to make a fishing trip for swordfish in the area of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. The vessel began its return voyage to Gloucester, MA. on October 26-27, 1991. On October 30, 1991, the vessel was reported overdue by the owner, Mr. Robert Brown. An extensive air and sea search was conducted utilizing U.S. and Canadian Cape Cod MA. However, the search did not locate the vessel or any of the crew members. The vessel and six crew members remain missing and are presumed lost at sea in a major storm, referred to as the Perfect Storm by a meteorologist and made famous by Sebastian Jungers book (the book was later turned into a Hollywood movie). The sword fishermen were Captain William Billy Tyne, Robert Bobby Shatford of Gloucester, Dale Murphy and Michael Bugsy Moran of Bradenton Beach FL., David Sully Sullivan and Alfred Pierre of New York City.
