Details:
"An adventure on the Atlantic in January 1952 involving an ex-WWII Liberty Ship. This ship had survived the war and was on a voyage from Hamburg to New York when it was hit by a hurricane. The master was Kurt Carlsen, a well-known radio amateur on the ten-meter band, and he improvised a radio that was to be a vital link in the drama that followed. Three people showed remarkable courage, as the ship hung between life and death for six days, leaving an enduring mystery and a conspiracy theory."
