The Finest Hours
On Feb. 18, 1952, a massive storm splits the SS Pendleton in two, trapping more than 30 sailors inside the tanker's sinking stern. Engineer Ray Sybert bravely takes charge to organize a strategy for his fellow survivors. As word of the disaster reaches the Coast Guard in Chatham, Mass., Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff orders a daring rescue mission. Despite the ferocious weather, coxswain Bernie Webber takes three men on a lifeboat to try and save the crew against seemingly impossible odds
This well-crafted film is an exciting depiction of a heroic true story of the courage and grit of both military Coast Guard members and salty seamen working on the waves for a living. Great for family viewing. CONTRIBUTOR: CCG - www.VirtueHeroes.com
