The DENNIS HALE STORY, SOLE SURVIVOR of the DANIEL J. MORRELL, with CAPT. DARRELL WALTON
The story of Dennis Hale and his harrowing journey on the Daniel J. Morrell is one for the ages. After the great ship broke in half with a full load of iron ore in Lake Huron during a horrendous storm in November of 1966, Hale survived 40 hours in a life raft in giant waves, 60-70 mph winds and unspeakable icy-cold temperatures to beat the odds. Sadly, his other three shipmates who were lucky enough to make it onto the raft, died of exposure before a Coast Guard helicopter made the rescue. Hale underwent more than a dozen surgeries following the ordeal, and later spoke about the tragedy to help cope with the mental and physical pain he carried with him till his dying day in 2015. In all, 28 good men died that terrible November day. Join me, the History Mystery Man, as we welcome back Captain Darrell Walton, who knew Hale and listened to his stories. Thanks for your support...enjoy! #HistoryMysteryMan #DanielJMorrell #DennisHale #GreatLakes #Shipwrecks #EdmundFitzgerald
