Linda Greenlaw was the captain of the Hanna Boden. Greenlaw was in charge of the fishing boat which was the sister ship of the Andrea Gail. The Andrea Gail which sank in a storm in the Atlantic in the 1991 Halloween Nor’easter.

From her sea faring adventures, Linda Greenlaw wrote several books which became bestsellers. They are “The Hungry Ocean” in 1999, “The Lobster Chronicles” in 2002 and “All Fishermen Are Liars” in 2002.

Sebastian Junger wrote “The Perfect Storm” in 1997 to narrate how the Andrea Gail sunk. Greenlaw was featured in the book as someone who tried to warn the Andrea Gail about the coming storm that eventually sunk the boat.
