Miami Bridge Hit?
Safe bet the ship is the Sara Express with a Gross Tonnage of 2463 tons. There is a fantastic book called
Freighter Captain, by Max Hard Hardberger, detailing his adventures sailing similar ships on the same run as the Sara Express. Truly entertaining non fiction.
Captain Hardberger is from Lousiana and graduated from UNO and holds a master's license, aircraft pilot's license, and law degree.
