Untold story of the Cougar Ace incident

[Charles McAllister]

Wired magazine has just published a dramatic telling of the story behind the Cougar Ace near-capsize, salvage, and the tragic death of naval architect Marty Johnson last year.  The article reads like a novel, focusing on the men who salvaged the ship even more than the methods used, although they too are described in detail.  IMHO the writing is on a par with Conrad and O'Brien.  I recommend the article to everyone http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/16-03/ff_seacowboys?currentPage=all
