Coast Guardsmen Rescued British Trawler In North Atlantic Gale
In a dramatic five day rescue the U S Coast Guard cutter saved a battered British armed trawler and her 22 crew after she drifted helplessly amid ice and 68 knot winds. The British crew, short on food, burned wooden fixtures for warmth as they were towed 100 miles to safety. The rescue earned overseas thanks and a rare wig wag message: We owe our lives to you.
