If a person is into the " Fitzgerald " sinking I believe this DVD documentary will be a worthwhile investment. Not so much as a minute by minute record of the " Fitz " sinking slowly from approx 15:00 hrs onward but there is worthwhile knowledge of the boat to be had with some interesting interviews from men that built her to men that sailed on her.Even the actual radio transmissions of Capt.Bernie Cooper conversing with the Coast Guard after she disappeared , presumed lost. Also included was the mention of the mystery body that lies beside the forward end on the bottom. The retired investigator that in other interviews seemed in my view to blame the crew on the faulty hatch cover issue has this time around changed his view leaning away from crew negligence. Some very interesting points are brought up by all those interviewed.I think the more a person rehashes this DVD the more they'll learn , I think it's a good addition for those who are interested in the tragedy to compliment their other books , tapes, DVD's , etc. It has a few surprises from people who are in the know ,enjoyed it ! 5 STARS.
