About the Cover
Disabled by floating ice while attempting to dock at St. Paul in the Pribilof Islands, the 96-foot fishing boat, Alaskan Monarch, with 50 tons of fresh caught crab in its hold, was helpless against the 35-knot winds, 12-foot waves, and jagged rocks. But in a harrowing rescue, all six crew members were plucked from harm’s way by a Coast Guard Helicopter.
