One sentence, just one sentence, but it clearly shows the Andrea Gail had a
gasoline engine. At least in the First Edition (for those out there who know
what a First Edition is, the rest of you can go fry an egg).
What part about " " did I not make clear? How about posting what the
author said verbatim (plus about two sentences on either side) if it
is different from what I quoted....
There's been plenty published about the Andrea Gail. Ships of that size,
design, type, and vintage don't have gasoline engines for main
propulsion or for generating main power. Period. But the ship might have
had some sort of aux. gasoline powered equipment, such as a winch. More
than likely, it simply was a mistake in the first draft and corrected later.
