On 1 October 2015, the American cargo ship El Faro sailed straight into the eye of Hurricane Joaquin and vanished in the notorious Bermuda Triangle. When all thirty-three aboard were lost, El Faro became the deadliest American maritime accident in more than a generation. Why did the captain steer the 790-foot ship into the massive storm?

Why did El Faro sink?

Three miles down, deeper than the Titanic, the ship's black box held damning secrets, including twenty-six hours of conversations between captain and crew leading up to El Faro's final moments. Relying on extensive investigative reporting, as well as the actual words of the doomed mariners themselves captured by the black box, journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery of the sinking of El Faro.
