Spach, John Thom

The schooner PRIDE OF BALTIMORE sank in 1985, and the Pusaski, in 1838. The two disasters have something in common: Each disaster united a couple who became stranded at sea. The couples vowed to wed if they survived. Sun-burned, starved, and exhausted, both couples were indeed rescued and later wed.
