The Andrea Gail was a 72-foot swordfishing vessel that disappeared during the historic "Perfect Storm" of 1991, a catastrophic convergence of weather systems that produced massive waves and powerful winds in the North Atlantic. Captained by Billy Tyne, the boat carried a crew of six seasoned fishermen from Gloucester, Massachusetts, each with years of experience at sea. Despite being well-prepared with provisions and equipment for their long voyage, the storm's unparalleled ferocity overwhelmed the vessel. After a final, ominous radio transmission, the Andrea Gail vanished, and despite extensive search efforts, only small fragments of debris were ever found. The boat's loss remains a profound maritime mystery, emblematic of the perils faced by Gloucester’s fishing community.
