A True and Particular Account of Captain John Mallette's Encounters with Lightning at Sea

from Storm Stories of North Carolina · host Shoresides

North Carolina has a long history of sea narratives: chapbooks that chronicled brave captains, daring crews, and the adventures and mishaps that befell them on the open water. In this episode of Storm Stories, we continue that tradition by talking with Captain John Mallete about one of his most harrowing experiences: sailing through the 2003 storm where he was suddenly struck by lightning.Support the show
