One late autumn day in 1982, the fifty-eight foot yacht Trashman set sail on a routine trip from Annapolis to Florida, with Deborah Scaling and four others aboard. When the boat sailed into a seventy-knot gale, it went down quickly, leaving the crew adrift in the Atlantic in a rubber dinghy that was quickly surrounded by sharks. Five harrowing days and nights later, when a Russian freighter finally came to their rescue, only two crewmembers remained. Powerful, adrenaline-charged, utterly consuming, The Sinking is a brave, unforgettable story that plunges to the depth of the human psyche and surfaces with the strength to survive. "A riveting and frightening true story told with startling candor and power. I read it without breathing." - Dodge Morgan, author of The Voyage of American Promise "The Sinking makes most other accounts of shipwreck and survival seem like cotton candy. I couldn't put it down." - Lawrence Millman, author of Last Places The Sinking is a re-release of Debbie's riveting experience told in Untamed Seas and Albatross. The book was renamed, reformatted, and updated to include pictures of the actual rescue taken by the doctor aboard the Russian freighter that plucked Debbie and Brad out of the sea.
