Before readingWhy I picked it up

Giving a chance with this to pass time.

After readingPosted

Story of the U.S Coast Guard's heroic rescue of crew from two sinking oil tankers off the New England coast. I must have read too much historical survival stories by now as it felt like I wasn’t about to get hooked by this story. I feel it may have more relevance to people of that area if who have family or friends in the coast guard or with naval connection.

Three reasons to read it

  1. Stories at Sea.
  2. A story about rescue missions.
  3. Learn about the U.S Coast Guard.
