“White Squall”
Sank Ill-Fated
Floating Classroom
TAMPA, Fla. (#> — A “white
squall,” once believed by many
sailors to be a myth of the seas,
roared out of nowhere to drive
the student cruise ship Albatross
to the bottom of the Gulf of Mex
ico in one minute.
Survivors of the ill-fated bri
gantine told the Associated Press
yesterday, as they steamed to
ward Tampa on this rescue ship,
how the squall tore into the rig
ging without any advance warn
ing. The vessel sank so swiftly
five were trapped below decks
and one was lost overboard.
“It’s the first time I ever saw
a white squall,” said Charles
Sahler, 18. “I never want to see
another again.”
Dictionaries describe a white
squall as a small whirlwind of
the tropics, with no accompany
ing cloud cover except a white
patch above the storm center.
Some Naval officers call it “a
popular myth.”
But it came in Tuesday morn
ing high off the surface of the
water, Sahler said, and hit the
rigging. There had been no build
up in the seas to warn of trouble.
Staggered by the blow, the
square-rigged “floating class
room” started to topple.
“We though she would right
herself,” said David Johnstone,
17, who was at the wheel. “We
thought she would come back up
but she didn’t.”
The wind ripped the lifeboats
free and 13 survivors managed
to get into them. Ten were teen
age boys, most from wealthy
families.
