Apparently, the captain has never heard of a "weather report". Why on Earth would she have not altered her route? I know shipping companies are greedy, but a longer/delayed route is a hell of a lot cheaper that a lost ship/cargo/crew. Regardless of the company's wishes, the captain/master is still 100% responsible for the welfare of the crew, and the safe passage of the vessel."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." -

The woman in that article is not the captain of the ship. She is (was) a crew member.
"The ship’s captain is Michael Davidson, 53, of Windham, Maine. His friend, Nick Mavodones, told WCSH-TV that Davidson is a good, and experienced, sailor."

"Family members of the missing crew are asking why the El Faro headed out into the powerful Hurricane Joaquin. The ship’s owners held an emotional meeting with the families in Florida.
TOTE Services President Phil Greene told CNN, “The captain knew the conditions and communicated back to our headquarters. The conditions were, as he saw them then, favorable. He was very confident the ship was doing well, the crew was quite up to date. I think the most critical importance for us is that we share as much information as we have, that we’re upfront about the situations as we possibly can be.”
The ship set out from Jacksonville, Florida, on a trip to Puerto Rico last Tuesday. It’s last reported position was near the Bahamas. Captain Michael Davidson sent a satellite distress message from the ship, reporting that it was taking on water and at a 15-degree list, the Coast Guard said. That was the last time the ship was heard from."When the government pays, the government controls.Comment
