'Two Tankers Down' Chronicles Famous Coast Guard Cape Cod Rescue
Author Robert R. Frump has written a story of one of the most famous rescues in U.S. Coast Guard history. Two oil tankers, the SS Pendleton and the SS Fort Mercer, split in half off Chatham, MA., on February 18, 1952. More than 1,000 Coast Guard rescuers in planes and cutters rushed to the scene. In the end, though the lifeboatmen, rescuers in small boats challenging huge seas, were key to some of the most dramatic rescues ever performed. Bernard Webber and the CG 36500 rescue boat played a central role in the Cape Cod rescue, but Frump's book breaks new ground in detailing the Fort Mercer rescue.
