DESCRIPTION:
(from Discovery's press release, May 2011) It survived the legendary "Perfect Storm." Now, the Hannah Boden, Captain Linda Greenlaw's legendary fishing vessel, returns to the treacherous but lucrative waters of the North Atlantic as SWORDS: LIFE ON THE LINE returns for its third season, premiering Thursday, May 12 at 10PM e/p on Discovery Channel. The Grand Banks off Newfoundland and Georges Bank off the Gulf of Maine hold a valuable commodity: swordfish. The trouble is that these waters are also home to some of the wildest storms on earth. When cold fronts barrel down from Canada and meet hurricane activity from the South, the results can be deadly - as the Hannah Boden witnessed during the "Perfect Storm" of 1991, when the Andrea Gail went down in 100-foot waves and lost all six of her crew. It's been nearly 20 years since that fateful October, when Greenlaw was the last person to speak to Andrea Gail captain - Billy Tyne (portrayed by George Clooney in the 2000 feature film) - before his boat and crew were lost at sea.
