## Review

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.

## Why I read it

Giving a chance with this to pass time.

## Reasons to read

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

## Quotes — Michael J. Tougias
