I watched a film on Sky last night called 'The Finest Hours' about a US Coast Guard lifeboat rescuing the crew from the stern section of a tanker, SS Pendleton, that had broken in two in a violent storm during 1952.
It all seemed a bit over-dramatized but wasn't bad for all that although I have to say I looked up the event after the film and sure enough, this was a pretty epic rescue by the look of it.
I'd actually never heard of this event before. Quite a remarkable effort !!
