[00:00:00]Did you know a ship captain saved his entire crew by crashing into rocks on purpose? November 1913, the deadliest storm in Great Lakes history. 90-mph winds, 35-ft waves, ships vanishing everywhere. Captain James Owen watched his freighter get torn apart by ice and waves. He made a desperate choice, beach the ship on jagged rocks. Then he let his men across deadly ice flows, frozen spray coating everything. They rationed emergency supplies in blizzard conditions, waiting for rescue while other vessels disappeared forever. Owen saved every single crew member against impossible odds.
