  • Lost at Sea: The Nameless Current That Took the Adeline Cross

    Lost at Sea: The Nameless Current That Took the Adeline Cross
    2026/08/07
    Lost at Sea: The Nameless Current That Took the Adeline Cross

    A nameless current moving at two to three knots on the surface and faster below pulled a coastal freighter into a ledge nobody had ever feared - and left two sailors clinging to a life raft while a third vanished. How could an uncharted flow overpower a seasoned crew, disable engines, and stop an EPIRB from ever sending a call?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from the morning a dry-bag washed ashore to the collision that sank the Adeline Cross, tracing the crew, the vessel, and the unexplained marine force that decided their fate. What exactly is this unnamed current and how did it slip past every chart and precaution?

    Person: Stanley Hill
    Person: Deborah Fain
    Person: Marcus Cho
    Event: Collision with Faber Ledge
    Date: Sunday, December 2

    - At 06:15 on Thursday, December 6, a translucent orange dry-bag was found on Faber Street dock containing a logbook, glasses, and a playing card marked "Tuesday. Day 4, still moving."
    - The Adeline Cross departed Port Halverson at 07:40 and had cleared the harbor entrance by 08:20 before turning southeast toward Cutler Point.
    - Between mile eight and mile nine the vessel encountered a current moving 2-3 knots at the surface and faster below, after which the engine overheated and seized.
    - The ship struck the north arm of Faber Ledge and sank in under twenty minutes; two crew members reached a life raft while one, Marcus Cho, was trapped in the engine room and not recovered.
    - The vessel's EPIRB did not transmit during the incident because its hydrostatic release had corroded shut; the beacon was recovered later in the wreck investigation.

  • The Logbook That Shouldn't Be Ashore: Secrets of the Alderman

    The Logbook That Shouldn't Be Ashore: Secrets of the Alderman
    2026/08/06
    The Logbook That Shouldn't Be Ashore: Secrets of the Alderman

    A washed logbook turned up in a Maine snowdrift on November 14, 2019 - dry, legible, and 41 road miles from where the Alderman lay in 212 feet of water - yet the boat had sunk 280 nautical miles from where the search was focused. How did a seemingly impossible set of errors and a single misread digit in a Mayday transmission put rescuers in the wrong ocean, and what did that logbook reveal about what the search missed?

    In this episode, we follow the day-by-day timeline of the Alderman’s final passage, the crew’s preparations and injuries, the flawed relay of coordinates to Halifax, and the discovery that challenged assumptions about how evidence survives a sinking. What sequence of small failures turned a routine coastal run into a six-day survival ordeal?

    Date: November 6, 2019
    Person: Pamela Marshall
    Person: Warren Tillis
    Person: Frank Poole
    Location: Gulf of Maine

    - The logbook was found by Lisa Whitley on Route Nine in eastern Maine on November 14, 2019, in a snowdrift, spiral-bound and dry.
    - The Alderman was sitting in 212 feet of water when the logbook was retrieved ashore 41 road miles from the nearest shore point referenced.
    - At 02:17 on November 6, Pamela Marshall broadcast a Mayday with position 43°51′N, 66°12′W; the relay altered the longitude to 61°.
    - The Alderman was 90 nautical miles southeast of the Maine coast at 02:00 as winds reached sustained 38-44 knots with gusts up to 52 knots.
    - Warren Tillis suffered a forearm fracture from a boom strike at 02:17 that went undiagnosed for nearly 30 hours, later developing compartment syndrome.

  • Twenty Days at Sea: The Voice That Drifted Fourteen Miles Inland

    Twenty Days at Sea: The Voice That Drifted Fourteen Miles Inland
    2026/08/05
    Twenty Days at Sea: The Voice That Drifted Fourteen Miles Inland

    The moment a lineman stepped into a cattle pond and saw a faded orange vest, he assumed a dead calf-until the recorder around the man’s neck kept clicking and a voice answered. A 52-year-old marine electrician spent twenty days at sea, recorded almost every hour, and somehow washed up fourteen miles from the nearest salt water; how did a man with a VHF, backup GPS and a yellow Marantz recorder end up in a cattle pond with no waterway to the Gulf? What do those lost twenty days sound like?

    In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from departure to discovery as conveyed by the man who lived them, in his own recorded log entries. We trace the timeline from the September 29th departure through the rigging failure, the lost navigation, the shark encounters and the dwindling supplies, asking how drift, damage and decisions combined to produce a search corridor that never matched where he actually went.

    Person: Gary O'Connor
    Date of departure: September 29, 2011
    Age: 52
    Equipment: handheld VHF, backup GPS with shattered screen, Marantz voice recorder in yellow housing
    Discovery: October 19, 2011, in a cattle pond fourteen miles from nearest salt water

    - Gary recorded his first entry before the marina was out of sight, noting fuel level, wind direction and time.
    - On approximately October 3, the forestay failed, the mast went over port, and the boom struck his left shoulder, rendering his left arm largely unusable.
    - After the fall, Gary used bolt cutters from the starboard lazarette to free rigging one-handed and ran the engine for 22 hours until it stopped.
    - He transmitted on VHF channel 16 for about two hours after the mast collapse and received no response.
    - Gary was found alive on October 19, wearing an inflatable vest, with his Marantz recorder still running.
