New Book Release
A Good and Favorable Wind Co-written by David L. Johnston & Ric Hedman
PigBoats.COM is pleased to announce the publication of our first book: "A Good and Favorable Wind", written by co-webmasters Ric Hedman and David Johnston.
This is the true story of the USS R-14 (SS-91) and a voyage that she took in May of 1921. Assigned to a search and rescue mission in an area east of the Big Island of Hawaii, the R-14 was subjected to a set of circumstances unique in the annals of the U.S. Submarine Service. If the crew is to return safely to port they must display superb leadership, inspired out-of-the-box problem solving, innovation, and perseverance. The aftermath of the incident examines the hows, the whys, and the lessons learned, and provides a primer to today's Navy in how to dispense fair and even-handed discipline.
This is a project over 10 years in the making, and has been a labor of love for Ric and Dave. We are justifiably proud of our work and we hope you will give it a read. It is available now online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and should be on the shelves in bookstores before Christmas 2022.
Enjoy! Thank you.
Ric and Dave
