The Finest Hours

 

Faithful readers of WoodenBoat will recall coverage in 2010, issue #212 (cover) about the 36' Coast Guard rescue boat CG36500, which faced 70' seas, and an oil tanker which broke in two. This is the full story of the most daring rescue in Coast Guard history. You will likely hear much more about this story, as the movie is now in post-production, and due to be released this winter.
