Summary:
A tanker steaming through the deep Northwest Providence Route from the Bahamas comes across a shocking sight: a lone dinghy carrying Captain Julian Harvey and your body of a young girl. All of them are that remain from the ketch Bluebelle, a good-looking sixty-foot sailing yacht chartered from the Duperrault family of Green Bay, Wisconsin. But their happy family vacation went terribly incorrect when, relating to Harvey, a violent and unpredicted squall smashed the large main mast, killed Harvey’s wife as well as the about Only: Orphaned on the Ocean others, and sank the boat. Harvey found the kid floating dead and, as far as he knows, he is the only survivor. Or is he?
Four days later on, just as Captain Harvey is testifying at a Coast Guard hearing about the tragic accident, amazing news of another survivor arrives. Eleven-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault has been found barely alive on the flimsy cork-and-canvas float without food or drinking water. Harvey takes the news headlines calmly, surface finishes his testimony, and leaves…to commit bloody suicide.
This is actually the chillingly detailed inside story of what really happened during that trip as well as the decades-long courage of the only real survivor of the murderous crime.
