Read the real story of The Finest Hours, a harrowing night when a small Coast Guard contingent from Cape Cod was sent out into a nor'easter to rescue the crewmen from two tanker ships that had broken apart in the same storm in 1952. Heroic helmsman Bernie Webber and his crew received the gold Lifesaving Medal for their bravery. This is the book that Disney used for the 2016 movie by the same name, which starred Chris Pine and Casey Affleck.
