The crew of the \u003ci\u003eMiss Ally\u003c\/i\u003e-a 12-metre Cape Islander from Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia-was fishing for halibut far off the Nova Scotia coast when their boat's spotlight malfunctioned. A vicious winter storm was approaching from her south, and all other boats at the fishing grounds were steaming for shore. Unable to locate his longlining gear, the \u003ci\u003eMiss Ally\u003c\/i\u003e's young captain decided to stay an extra day to retrieve the gear and, hopefully, a big catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir retreat delayed, the \u003ci\u003eMiss Ally\u003c\/i\u003e crew ended up pounded by hurricane-force winds and waves well over 10 metres high. Late on February 17, the boat foundered. The five young men aboard-Katlin Nickerson, Billy Jack Hatfield, Joel Hopkins, Cole Nickerson, and Tyson Townsend-were never found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sea Was in Their Blood\u003c\/i\u003e explores two key questions: who were the men aboard the \u003ci\u003eMiss Ally\u003c\/i\u003e, and why were they battered and sunk by a storm forecasted days in advance? Through interviews with the crew's families and friends, rescue personnel, and members of the tight-knit fishing communities of Woods Harbour and Cape Sable Island, award-winning journalist Quentin Casey pieces together the tragic sinking-including important case details not previously reported-and weaves in the backstories of the \u003ci\u003eMiss Ally\u003c\/i\u003e's crew and the lingering effects of their disappearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA portion of the royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to various charitable causes associated with the \u003ci\u003eMiss Ally\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":51194820165936,"sku":"BD1b1g","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1b1g-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773728239","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1b1g","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
