Coast Guard crew rescues five from storm wrecked ketch Voile Dor
In a dramatic rescue off Cape May the McCulloch commanded by Cmdr Joseph C Fox battled 35 to 45 foot seas to reach the rudderless ketch Voile Dor carrying Mr and Mrs William Schnirring skipper Ivan Fox and two others. The crew saved all five after lines failed and a life float capsized. An Italian ore carrier aided the operation with oil to calm the seas and exchanged radio thanks in broken Spanish and Italian.
