On September 20, 1991, the Andrea Gail left port in Gloucester, Massachusetts for the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.

The Man on the Steps: How One Small Act of Compassion Sparked a Lifetime of Ripples I never expected that delivering a warm sandwich and coffee to a quiet man sitting under an old church awning would change my life—or anyone else’s. Every morning, I passed by that same corner at Maple and 3rd Street on my way to the bakery café where I worked. And every morning, he was there. Silent. Still.
