Albatross
"One late summer's day, the yacht Trashman set sail from Annapolis to Florida. On board were five young people: John, the captain; Meg, Mark, Brad, and Debbie Scaling. When the boat sailed into a gale, the eighty-knot winds shredded the sails. Forty-foot seas crashed through the cabin windows, and Trashman sank, leaving the crew adrift in a rubber dinghy. Albatross tells the story of how Debbie and Brad survived and how the tragedy changed Debbie Scaling's life forever."

There's a great book on this fire. https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Grove-Cocoanut-Tragedy-Aftermath/dp/030681501X

Here's the kicker - one survivor - who spent a lot of time in the hospital recovering from burns, died years later burned to death in I believe a car accident. Trying to find reference but I believe it's in the book. Here's another good resource http://www.cocoanutgrovefire.org/home/people/victims
