: Ol' Stephanie gave me an idea.
: Why doesn't everyone post his or her favorite shipwreck to do a movie about? I am sure that we could get some varied, and entertaining, answers. I'll go first:
: Even though there are hundreds of wrecks to choose from I think we need something that we could sell to Hollywood. I vote for the St. Albans. It might not have been my first choice, except that Kent Bellrichard told me that there were actually a group of hookers on board when she went down. He also told me that when the yawls hit the beach in Milwaukee a fight broke out over who was taking them home.
: The story might need a little bit more research, but from what I have heard so far, it has everything that Hollywood is looking for nowadays- sex and violence.
: Who's next???
: Jon Zeaman- STILL using my real name;)
HAHAHA :)
there are many wrecks that would make a good movie. I have often thought about a tribute to great lakes shipping disasters. How about a couple of short stories about many different wrecks that dont really "stand out" in history? I wanna see a movie about a shipping trip that didnt make it. I wanna see what it was like thru the eyes of the unfortunate sailor. I wanna be there from signing up, to loading, casting off, a couple intense storms, other mishaps that were commonplace daily back then, finally a collision with another 18th century schooner in the dead of night. Tell me that wouldnt be edge of your seat action, yet ALL entirely true? Those are the BEST stories! I will make this movie for everyone here, as soon as I get rich and have the time!
