The record — long form
The Morrell is the torn — the '66 storm that broke it in two, the 28 who died. The Hale was the one — the watchman who survived 38 hours, the raft that held the bodies. The silence was the 27 — the hours that no one knew, the search that came late.
The break was the 2am — the main deck that ripped like paper, the 8 minutes that were the escape. The pea coat was the salvation — the extra layer that kept him, the '15 death that's the cancer. The Morrell is the Lakes' — the worst in 8 years, the 145 feet where it rests.
The file keeps the Morrell: the 1966 break, the 28 dead, the Hale survival, and the silence.
The Morrell is the archive's Harbor Beach file — the torn freighter.
