That was exactly where they were headed, even though the final radio contact didn't happen like this in real life

The Perfect Storm

They were almost certainly headed for Halifax or Lunenberg

The real life story makes it more clear. The storm formed overtop of them without much warning when they were already halfway home after the trip. And you can't drive in a storm. Your boat is going to go wherever the wind and waves push it. All you can do is control which direction the boat points.

Pretty accurate analysis, but the boat most likely lasted for a few hours before being overwhelmed by the storm, much longer than a few minutes

*That’s not how storms work because you can literally see them from a distance*

*It LITERALLY had to be a conversation about driving through that big grayish blackish lightning thundering cloud*

@@Overlookedtooverbooked Storms can absolutely form from nowhere, but beside the point in this instance; The movie plays this up for drama. The boat was already halfway home when they got first warning of bad weather (along with all other vessels off the East Coast) via weatherfax from NOAA. The initial forecast was for mild weather, a bit of wind and some chop. By the time the updated forecast came out, predicting serious and potentially threatening conditions (still under-reporting the conditions the storm would actually end up producing) it was dawn the next day, way too late to turn around - the storm would catch them no matter what at this point.

@@Overlookedtooverbooked damn you just got proven wrong

Had to be a rogue wave. If the Andrea Gail had been through similar conditions before, someone must have really gone wrong that night.

Very unlikely she was capsized. Billy would've kept her pointed into oncoming weather. Far more likely they endured a beating all night and were put down by a 100' rogue around midnight. There were tons of them

​@@mgmg116i know I'm late but I think when there was a period of time when there was 100 foot waves The Andrea Gail was climbing a wave and the wave creasted like in the movie but they aren't capsized but the wave just swamped the Andrea Gail and damaged her she went underwater popped up and the waves just sank her when she was damaged

yes np

@@zoumhs999 what does np mean

@@zoumhs999 thankyou

Part of the system they used to help.make the radio work

Blew away the antennas and destroyed the crow's nest railing and platform. Probably took their anemometer too (windspeed gauge)

Maybe in our grandkids life time. The area to search is huge. From the flemish cap to Nantucket Island. The seafloor in that area is huge and deep...

@@boyscouts83712 They were just 130 nautical miles East of Sable and likely didn't make it much further than that, considering all the wreckage from the boat (and there wasn't much) washed up on Sable's shores. That puts them within a 100nm radius. The boat is likely at the bottom of The Gully

The Perfect Storm

Do you think they could've even made it at that point trying to go back?

@@Vikingr4Jesus5919 no

@@christophersanchez4496 didn't think so either.

In real life, the storm formed over the Andrea Gail as they were heading home, They didn't knowingly sail into this deadly storm.

And by turning southeast, you're sailing into the teeth of a category 4/5 Hurricane with and equally destructive nor'easter right behind u

Yes, because FOOD isn't necessary...

“Toxic Masculinity” just a made up term by beta males wishing they were female.

Their families didn't like the way their dead relatives were portrayed and sued the filmmakers. They lost, though.

Yes, they were headed through the storm because they had a large catch. If they had waited it out, their catch would have spoiled and they’d have made no money. Unfortunately, the Andrea Gail didn’t realize the severity of the storm and thought they could go through it.

The catch would have spoiled because their ice machine stopped functioning.

They were faced with a choice: stay where they were and ride out the weather, only to lose thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in fresh caught swordfish and have to throw it overboard and to the birds thus going back broke. Or risk it all with the weather and arrive in port for a major payday. Unfortunately, as they were sailing back, the weather got worse and worse than they were gone. Now their final resting place is at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean among the countless others that have lost their lives to the same career or other things like world wars and etc

In the movie they knew that they were sailing into a really bad storm. They didn't know 3 weather systems were going to merge. In real life they were on day 3 of they're trip home when one of the storms basically formed on top of them. As another captain said, whatever happened to them happened quickly because Tyne never gave any indication that they were in any trouble. Just that bad weather was coming.

May I ask you where can I see this movie
