oh yeah and the captain was from Winchester too, believe it or not. Massachusetts. i hope you read about the anti-piracy classes taught at the maritime academy that the crew had taken. incredible. i followed this story from the first day it broke. thank god it ended well, just not for the pirates
more than a dozen ships are still being held by pirates, with more than 200 crewmen. some of the ships have been held since last fall while ransoms are being negotiated
