The Notebook That Saved Seven: How a Lost Log Found the Survivors

The morning a paperboy found a waterlogged composition notebook stamped MV Mireille Voss, seven people were clinging to life in a lifeboat with a VHF radio that transmitted no farther than two miles. Search aircraft had been looking in the wrong place for thirty-six hours, and a cargo tag zip-tied to a ruined notebook would change everything-how did one soaked notebook become the only way their calls were heard?
In this episode, we follow the recovered notebook and the crew entries that redirected a failing rescue, tracking what was written, who survived the launch, and why routine checks missed a bent antenna that crippled the lifeboat radio. Could a paper log and a paperboy beat forty-eight hours of missed alarms?
Person: Glenn Campbell
Date: November 14 (discovery), collision evening November 8
Location: Perdido Bay (notebook found); Gulf of Mexico (incident)
Vessel: MV Mireille Voss, 412-foot chemical tanker
Status: Seven survivors in lifeboat; two officers deceased, some bodies not recovered
- Glenn Campbell found the notebook at 5:30 AM on November 14 while on a four-mile paper route with fourteen stops.
- The MV Mireille Voss departed Pascagoula on the evening of November 8 with an estimated arrival of November 12 and never arrived.
- The ship carried twenty-one crew; seven launched in a rigid enclosed lifeboat built for ten with rations for three days.
- Roy Pruitt estimated the VHF radio battery at 60% but the antenna connector bent on launch, reducing range from ~20 miles to ~2 miles.
- The notebook reached the Perdido Bay sheriff's substation at 6:15 AM and was on a senior rescue coordinator’s screen in New Orleans by 8:00 AM.
