First published in 2017 by McGraw Hill Education under title: Dust to deliverance : untold stories from the maritime evacuation on September 11.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The situation -- The evacuation -- The aftermath.
"After terrorists crashed passenger jets into the World Trade Center towers, which later collapsed, mariners delivered an estimated 400,000 to 500,000 people off Manhattan Island. This unplanned evacuation-unprecedented in speed, scale, and scope-became the largest boat lift in history. Mariners' skill, innovation, professionalism, and cooperation made the effort successful"--Provided by publisher.
