Real Story

1. Captain Phillips, his crew, the four Somali pirates, Captain Larry Aashiem, and some Navy SEALS
2. I expect the plot to start with Captain Phillips and his crew going off to sea on their boat, the MV Maersk Alabama. They were headed to east Africa and were warned to stay 600 nautical miles away from the coast. The trip goes fine until four Somali pirates manage to board the ship.
    Captain Phillips was then captured by the pirates and held hostage on their lifeboat. The crew had captured one of the pirates, and attempted to exchange the pirate for Phillips, but they were tricked by the pirates, and ended up without Phillips.
    Then two other ships came to respond to the situation. The Maersk Alabama left, and the two ships, captained by Larry Aashiem, and some Navy SEALS successfully rescued Phillips in the end.
3. This story is important because it taught sailors the lesson about how dangerous Africa's east coast can be, and what they need to do if it happens to them. Also because it shows the extreme bravery of Phillip's crew.
4. The pirates took the ship because they wanted the cargo aboard.
