The Dry Notebook: Six Survivors, Eighteen Dead, One Unexplained Entry

Imagine finding a perfectly dry notebook on a tidal flat, belonging to a ship that sank eleven days prior, killing eighteen people. This isn't a riddle; it's the chilling discovery that launched an eighteen-month inquiry into the MV Fortuna Star disaster. What secrets did this waterlogged vessel's dry logbook hold, and why did it feel "placed"?

In this episode, we delve into the sinking of the bulk carrier Fortuna Star and the mysterious notebook found by a utility lineman. We explore the lives of the six survivors, the meticulous records kept by the second officer, and the baffling entry that investigators spent years trying to understand.

Event: MV Fortuna Star sinking
Date: November 3rd
Location: Forty-two miles offshore
Status: Eighteen dead, six survivors
Discovery: Dry notebook found November 14th

- The MV Fortuna Star was struck by the MV Crestline at approximately 11:47 PM on November 3rd.
- The ship sank in under eighteen minutes, with sixteen people dying at collision or in the water.
- Lifeboat Two launched with seven people, including Susan Hill, a 44-year-old senior cargo compliance officer.
- The lifeboat's radio was transmit-only and unreliable, and the Crestline transmitted incorrect GPS coordinates, off by nineteen miles.
- The lifeboat carried supplies rated for twenty-four person-days, immediately halved to last roughly seven days for seven survivors.
