I HATE READING BUT I SAW AN ARTICLE IN MY BOATING MAGIZINE ABOUT THIS BOOK SO I HAD TO GET. I READ THE WHOLE THING IN 2 DAYS. THIS IS FULL OF INFO THE NEWS STATIONS NEVER TOLD YOU ON THIS DAY WE WILL NEVER FORGET. THIS IS A MUST FOR ANYONE. NEVER FORGET 9/11

This book is heartening, and provides a lot of insight into one aspect of the 9/11 tragedy with which most of us have no experience. Although most of us saw television or still photos taken from offshore, I do not think many of us focused on the boats, and mariners, heading towards the devastation. I have always had a great admiration for those who, "...go down to the sea in ships." My admiration is if anything greater now.

This @mims Twitter post: 'Moving documentary of 9/11 evacuation by boat shows #resilience of cities[...]reminded me of how humbled and impressed I was after reading how successfuly the evacuation was conducted by literally 'All Hands' who came together and made a difference during this crisis!

Short read with lots of pictures. Good book on September 11th and very touching story on what happened that day in New York City. A real eye opener that is sad but shows the hero's on that terrible day. I would recommend it if you want some inside stories on what happened on that day that will always be remembered by all of us.
