I know I've read "Burning Cold" but can;t remember if the lifeboats were used and for how long. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lives were lost, and the ship burned and sank. I don't remember how long the last people were in the boats before they were saved. All of the evacuation and rescue took time, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
