19 years ago, Hillsborough resident Bob Cusick was first mate on a cargo ship called the Marine Electric in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship sank and only three of the 34 crew survived. The main reason for the sinking was that the ship was in scandalously poor shape. Bob Cusick talks about his own brush with death and the legal battle that followed. His story is at the heart of a new book called, "Utill the Sea Shall Free Them." www.untilthesea.com
