I looked up this hurricane on the Internet, and it was called the Atlantic Great Hurricane, it happened in Sept 1944, started in the Carribean and headed North and touch land in New Jersey and Long Island, by the time we were in it the winds were at 85 miles and hr. and waves were said to be 80 foot high. Our Liberty ship headed directly into it to avoid capsizing. Thanks for rembering your Atlantic Hurrican. Gerry Burr
