White Squall (1996)
A good story of the Albatross is yet to be told.

Few of the principals of this story remain today. A year after the sinking, a book was written by one of the crew, called "The Last Voyage of the Albatross." The book provide little information, but was timely. The movie was made 30 years after the event, but early on gets into weepy over-dramatization. By the time of the ship's capsizing, too much is taken away from the tragedy by the tedious script. A good film or book would follow the career of Chris Sheldon, whose misfortune at sea was not limited to being skipper of the Albatross. Such a book could also follow the life of Alice Strahan Sheldon and her experience as a member of the Girl Scout Mariner program.
