Comments: In February 1952, Cape Cod is hit by a savage storm. It breaks two T2 tankers into two parts. One incident is known and being attended to. The other isn't detected. Fortunately, a fisherman heard and saw the after section of this half-tanker. This film tells of the heroic rescue mounted by four sailors in a small Coast Guard boat out of Chatham.

Like most great movies, this story is based on a book, which is, in turn, cemented in history. The film isn't completely historically accurate, instead it is more dramatic. The personal hardships undertaken must have been immense. Disney does a good job depicting these duties while also telling a love story. The film may be a bit over-the-top in spots, but it's an excellent story nonetheless. Recommended!
