Asked by: Angelo Cruse
On October 30, 1991, the so-called “perfect storm” hits the North Atlantic producing remarkably large waves along the New England and Canadian coasts. Over the next several days, the storm spread its fury over the ocean off the coast of Canada.
Was Perfect Storm based on true story?
The story of Andrea Gail and her crew inspired Sebastian Junger’s 1997 book, The Perfect Storm, and a 2000 film of the same name. A ship similar to Andrea Gail, Lady Grace, was used during the filming of the movie.
Was The Perfect Storm ship ever found?
To this day, the trawler, and its crew, have never been recovered. Updated by Gabriel Kirellos, January 8th, 2022: The Perfect Storm hit Gloucester, MA, when the Andrea Gail vessel was at sea looking for swordfish. The tragic incident was so horrible the crew never made it home.

Did a helicopter go down in The Perfect Storm?
In the middle of the storm, the fishing vessel Andrea Gail sank, killing her crew of six and inspiring the book, and later movie, The Perfect Storm.

The HANNAH BODEN remains in active service as a swordfishing vessel.

100 feet
In the case of the Perfect Storm, rogue waves were reported to be as high as 80 to 90 feet, and seas in the Northern Atlantic were as high as 100 feet. And while the system was spinning off the coast, all the wind and wave energy was being sent right into the Massachusetts coastline.
