Steve, the Tam was moored at Pier 40 when Perfect Storm was being filmed. With today's CGI, I don't see why they couldn't have filmed her from several different angles and enhanced her digitally for the movie. Besides there is existing footage of her in the actual storm taken from a CH helicopter. It would have worked given the scenes were in the night and water was everywhere..... and I do agree with you that a ride on the Tam in the North Atlantic got your heart pumping. Green water hit the bridge more than once when I was on her.
