Great Isaac

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ocean-going tug Great Isaac tows a WWII Liberty Ship north of the New Jersey coast towards the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1947. Dense fog descends near Barnegat where a freighter heads southbound. The three meet early in the morning.

The collision and wreck is one story. But two greater connections to U.S. and World history are revealed.
