BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
Wellfleet, Massachusetts
NOVEMBER 1951
Bernie, this is really where I wanted to meet us?
Yes. What do you mean? - I think I see.
Where? - Must be.
What do we do?
we buy a smoothie? Therefore, we are here?
Yes I think so.
For this seriously any good from you.
Do you think I'm someone else should dress shirt? - You look good.
I do not know, Gus. What if they hate me?
Come on. Really? And then?
You do not know what he looks like?
They can be a dog. - She's not a dog.
That can not be.
I can already imagine what it looks like to me. And she's not a dog.
You talk about a few weeks on the phone with her?
But?
Y.
He likes to talk with you.
And I do not think you should be concerned about how they look. That was never his problem.
Come on.
Come on.
You should have a new shirt.
I'll take the risk.
A date with a girl who never saw spoke, never mind.
I do not know why Miriam definitely want a double date.
Maybe she's not sure of me.
How can anyone not sure about you? - Indeed. Thanks, Gus.
To say nothing about men on the desktop.
It's not as if you've never been on a date.
Are you ready?
Sorry.
Are you Miriam?
No. I'm your friend.
She is ...
Hi. How are you? I'm Gus. - Catalina.
We'll talk later.
Bye.
Hoi.
Wait.
You Bernie Webber?
Yes. Yes, I'm Bernie.
Guys, let's drink.
Do you want to go? - Clear.
How are you?
I'm Gus. For a moment I thought Smokey the Bear was in that phone booth.
For his coat.
Miriam has never been on a boat. She is afraid of water.
Never?
already she asked him why he had an appointment with one of the Coast Guard.
I'm not afraid. I live on the Cape.
Do not worry. We are all afraid of that.
I have no fear of water.
At night it makes me weird, that's all.
You can not see what's underneath.
Only water.
I'm funnier if later.
Why you do not agree with me?
Why did he wait so long?
I did not know if ...
If I have a what?
You know. - Do not.
You are so handsome. I do not know if you would be attracted to me.
Heavens, no. You are exactly what I imagined.
Y? - Y.
Even better.
You know, my brother always says that if you know it, you know.
What? - All. I think everything.
No. I mean what Brother.
Paul. My brother Paul.
He is the one who fought in Germany? - In Germany, yes.
He is the oldest. My father's favorite.
My three brothers fought in the war. - He's your father do?
We need to take Miriam tonight on a boat. What do you think?
We take the barge. It will be great.
You know I can not. We can have problems.
Come on. It will be fun. - The rules are the rules.
No. We do not grow well.
Just enough to make this sweet girl to say she was on a boat.
A rowboat? Do not.
No. Small boats ...
And one of the big boats moored?
If Bernie there, I will. - A fishing boat?
These fishermen do not want near us unless we address them.
They own the water are created. They are not very nice.
Come on. Do not be such a coward.
Let's take the barge. What are you afraid of?
What it is in the water, right?
Hello, Mr. Stella. How are you?
Hoi, Bernie. - Mr. Ryder.
See that girl over there?
Die die aubergines met?
Yes. - You can not miss it.
I said that already. It's funny you say that.
It seems that Smokey, right? Smokey the Bear. - I do not know Smokey.
It's a cartoon.
She thinks she is afraid on a boat, Mr. Stello.
And I do not think we should take a barge. I do not want to throw up in that beautiful big coat.
So I was wondering if ...
Do you want to take it to Anna G around the harbor?
Y.
You can not make do with a flat bottom, even if you wanted to?
Carl, para.
First birthday is approaching. My sister lives in my house.
How are you?
That's enough. He did what he could.
Sorry, Mr. Nickerson.
I wanted to make him angry. I just wanted to ask Mr. Stello if we could borrow a boat.
I have you.
Give me your hands.
It's good.
17 FEBRUARY 1952
Follow my arms.
Stay with me.
It is rhythm.
Agree? So it is ... Here we go.
One two Three. Right, left, right.
I can not here in one, two, three.
We can sit? - No, darling.
You need to relax and be patient and follow me.
Here, follow me. Feel that?
To listen to music.
You're doing it right.
Will you marry me?
What?
Will you marry me?
Do not.
Wait a minute.
It's cold, dear. Would not you like to come back?
The band is not ready yet.
It's cold. Feel that? There is a storm coming.
It's okay.
Okay, what? - Okay, we're getting married. I just do not ...
No what?
It's only been a few months and is still winter.
And there's a storm coming. It's like last year.
Which makes that ...
I heard that we were going to happen.
But maybe not. You never know.
You never know.
Some people are made for this.
Sometimes surfing and will not return.
Are you talking about the storm or a wedding?
I think I'm talking about the storm.
Are you afraid of a storm?
Do not.
I want to disappoint anyone.
In...
I do not want to lose you. I love you.
So ...
let's get married.
Insurance?
Yes.
When?
You want to choose a date? No. If you want to marry?
April 16th. - It's okay.
April 16 will be.
But I have to ask permission first Cluff. - Do you have to ask permission?
It is my commander. They are guidelines Coast Guard.
But I promise I will ask tomorrow.
I'll take you home.
You can dance too.
Now look. It begins to snow.
PENDLETON - T2 OLIETANKER
15 km NW van Chatham, MA
Can you get me on that ear ringing, Captain?
That crack charges were closed last month will not keep in these waters.
A strong blow can explode again.
I have not before going to the deck. I can hear that down here.
What braze huge buzz.
Hum, sir. Welding buzzes. I would slow down to three buttons, please.
If we do not stop, you may not have ...
conditions to maintain.
No problem.
the conclusion of seven knots. Thank you sir.
Pop? - I have been told that.
You want to go on deck to check electrofusion sockets?
You can set a hat, Popo.
What did you say?
He said he would have to consider also bring a hat.
Go to sleep.
What do you know about this time? Eldon and I will destroy it.
Are you sure it is because of the weather? Perhaps it is because of the singing.
because people said sit sit, allow you to move the boat
Come on.
people said sit sit, allow you to move the boat
Shut up.
It will be even worse.
I took the cover. Maintaining the weld bead is not at this time.
You have to slow down.
I am the captain of the call again.
It comes in.
It is? - If.
Go upstairs.
We have a crack in the hull in the engine room.
Everyone must collect mattresses and blankets and what still can be achieved.
Yes son?
I can get anyone on the bridge.
You must inform the captain that the fuselage has a tear of 5 meters.
Tell pumps remain, but if not tied, they break.
The captain does not understand me.
I know he does not understand, but listen to anyone.
cold outside? - If.
Try that thing left to do? - If.
Come on. That makes no sense.
Let the man who did it, make it come.
I would if it were to appear.
What is this on the radio, a boat breaks?
That is the Fort Mercer.
Fort Mercer? - That's a great lady. That's a tank vessel T2.
He began to call a few hours ago. Apparently she has a big crack in its hull.
The oil leaks everywhere.
She is about 30 km east of Nantucket.
It seems like Boston and Nantucket send its entire fleet. We can include the following.
They say strong winds from 80 to 100 km / h.
It will be a disaster.
Miriam is called.
Y.
Good luck friend.
Ja. - Mr. Cluff.
I, Bernie, sir.
Put together a team. Go fishermen help make your boat at the dock.
Yes sir.
Lord, I need to ask you something.
I have approval for a girl.
Approval? Approval of a girl?
Mr. Cluff, works.
Yes sir. - Not now.
But, sir. It is not "just a girl ', sir ... - Not now.
We receipt.
Cluster here remains the salvation of Mercer?
In die andere bliep, 3km van hier.
That will be false echoes.
How do we know that everything is out there?
When the technician? And where he is doing Bangs Head?
Is Fitzgerald, sir.
Bangs in the main dining room, sir.
You laugh at my accent, because I'm not from this neighborhood?
Nee, Mr. Cluff.
Why are you still here? - Lord, but ...
Take Livesey take fishing boats.
Yes sir. - Do you want me to go with Webber, sir?
For fixing fishing boats?
You heard me. Yes, you and Webber.
Sorry His orders, you know.
That's a lot of time, what do you think?
We enter the water, we need to launch the lifeboats.
Why are you so stupid?
The least we can do is pray for the captain, chief of collagen ...
and the rest of men. All good men.
we are not good men?
Do not misunderstand me.
Prayer is great, but not enough.
We also need to do something.
A word.
That hothead Brown wants to launch the lifeboats.
Lifeboats? - Quirey want to do anything.
Their bickering men are difficult.
Boat guess you know better than anyone. Almost she married.
So I think she will listen to you. - Listen to me?
These men do not like me.
Nobody on the ship is me, if you and Tchuda.
They like that maybe not, but they will listen.
We do not know the teacher has to send an SOS.
The radio booth is gone. We can not make calls.
Garcia is only a small shortwave trying to pick something up.
For all we know, nobody knows we're here.
I think we now have to launch the lifeboats and go from the ship while you can.
How you get them in the water in this storm?
That can not, these ships are too small. It is suicide.
You can not do this, you can not. What do you want to do? Just nothing?
That's it, no officers, no orders. Every man for himself.
That is not the way.
I never did anything to anyone.
The ship is broken ...
bulkheads tanks, eight and nine are separated.
Mr. Sybert said the other tanks are not broken, so ...
the air in the ballast tanks should stay afloat.
But Mr. Sybert also says that ... - Mr. Sybert says this, says Mr. Sybert.
He's a big boy. To say it himself. He is here.
Go ahead.
We're sinking.
Yes, but the flute works.
So we must continue to blow into it. Maybe someone will listen.
I do not know, but we're definitely sinking.
Because the crack in the engine is too much water inside.
The pumps can not keep up.
If the water to get to the air intake of the engine, the power is lost.
If we lose, we lose the pumps. If we lose ...
then they sink rapidly.
How long we have before it happens?
Four, maybe five hours.
We have to stretch a little time.
So anyone can find us.
If someone is looking for us.
Even if they know we're here, the sea is big enough.
She has this thing broken in half.
How are you going to get out of hell?
That's why I say we need to launch the lifeboats.
Our luck is running out. - I do not believe in luck.
If you let the lifeboats in the water, with less than 12 seconds altogether.
You and Quirey want to do anything.
You have a better idea, Sybert, if you want to go back down to hide?
We will let its beaches.
What?
Would you allow its beaches?
Even if you could do with an average ship, why are you doing?
They will break and throw us into the sea.
It is our only option. We must find a soft sand and placed in it.
Then it will be less water.
We were in the same place. We blow the whistle.
We give those looking for an opportunity to meet.
Are you going to send a ship without hydraulic system?
That's his plan? How will you do that?
I'll make a reed manual helm.
Why should we listen to you?
All I ever cared about was this ship.
You two make a cute couple on the ocean floor. Activity in the lifeboat.
Look.
We stab a steel beam in the wheelhouse.
We depend on the end pulleys to maintain balance.
And let's move manually.
Excuse.
I think I've fixed the radio.
Polling at 83 degrees, about 30 km east of Nantucket ...
'This Nantucket? That is not Pendleton.
Fort Mercer emergency ... - Fort Mercer. That is another T2.
There is another oil on two broken.
But if someone is going to help them, ...
Who is there for us?
How do you feel? It is?
You have already requested Cluff? - Do not.
Why not?
What's wrong? I do not ...
What? - Have you been asked Cluff?
I told you not to tell anyone.
Sorry, but I have a good day. - I know you do not feel well ...
You know, permission to marry is not necessary.
Actually, Chief. - Unless there is a minor.
Thank you, boss, I follow the rules, but.
We'll be ready.
It is not a directive. It's just a formality, by respect.
And I heard right, I asked?
Follow orders, right?
Yes, they asked me.
Are you sure you wear pants or she wears that?
It seems that this girl that ...
What?
Should you get stuck do not boats?
She is my fiancee, sir.
Who asked you ...
to marry.
Go Go.
Moment.
Insurance.
I'm sorry Mr. I say.
This line is bad, ma'am. I try to connect again.
Please sir. The lines do not work.
How are you? How does it work?
It was one of those days, you know. But how are you?
You are not radar technician? - Do not.
He has commanded me to take refuge here until the storm has passed.
Then I can navigate my lighthouse.
You can wait in the dining room if desired.
This is not a good time, you know.
I have to be ready to go to the dock and to secure the boat.
I wish you were with me.
I hear all kinds of things about a broken boat and I ...
What, are you okay?
Yes, we have lost the lights.
Then you can start looking better.
Nantucket has sent his 10m to the ...
You have already requested Cluff? Is the?
Not yet, honey.
I'll explain later. I have to go out. - Good.
I love you. - I love you so much.
Bye.
It is the best I had no idea who I was.
Make a crew and sail with the old port 36500.
Go to Fort Mercer, 30km east of Nantucket.
I do not think we can navigate the sandbar at this time, Mr. Cluff.
We can then better take the stage port 36383.
Still it takes longer?
Not much.
What do you think?
You're a boatswain. You know what's out there.
No one comes to the sandbar at this time, Mr. Cluff. No one.
It's a suicide mission.
We must take the stage port 36383.
It takes a little longer. But we'll get at least outside the port.
Success, Chief.
Let Gouthro Livesey and fishing pier. - Yes sir.
no disgusts me, Gus. You should not even be here.
Why should you always make us ridiculous, Richie?
It is not our fault that does not go with the explosions.
It's out anyway. - Get some. That was a year ago.
Get some.
Nobody had that day sail on the sandbar. - Bangs did.
Actually, Richie. It is not navigate the sandbar.
No, he takes 36383 beautiful protected bay.
Bernie, no matter what you think Richie ...
Nickerson Bangs wie ook give.
No one could have saved the men.
Sometimes, people die, Bernie.
Here we go.
Hang on. Easy, now.
I have it. - Elevation.
One two. Everything now.
Three.
Tie, guys. I have it.
It's okay. We now have a tiller. Let us down in the shallows.
Brown and others are preparing to launch the lifeboats.
They think it's their best hope.
We need everyone now. - They hold the lifeboats.
What are you trying to do this, Sybert? - Get off of him.
Are you trying to kill us?
Slow down the speed. Stand up.
Are you crazy. - He just saved your life.
The ship is in pieces. He has gone. Enough.
That ship is too small for this sea.
And this ship is sinking at nightfall.
Everyone wants to live here ...
and that can only happen if we let it run aground.
We put a hold on and look forward to a coast.
I need four men working in the emergency rudder pulley.
I have four men needed to pump back to control ...
and the rest of you represents a line with cubes together ...
and communicates with the engine room.
And someone keeps blowing the whistle.
You heard him, boys. Walk. Come on.
It sounds like you're the man, Sybert.
I hope we do not kill.
I saw a tug boat. Heard the whistle.
A distress signal. 45 minutes ago.
From my house.
The wind blows from the south, and in those circumstances ...
I think they will float in this direction, and each of the dune.
You can not come from Mercer, Bernie.
She is the address of Nantucket ...
that means moving to the northwest, right?
I know what I heard. I know what I saw.
Okay then.
How about going to the back of the station and investigate?
He only spoke of Boston.
With a plane ...
with the rear of the tanker Pendleton seen 8 km east of here.
Two tankers broken in a day. That must be a record.
Boston and Nantucket have all sent ships to Mercer.
They never survive in this climate.
Webber. Put together a team. Take that 36 500 and go ...
and find the back of Pendleton. You got it?
Yes sir.
Do you want to warm up with some coffee?
What?
What Carl is trying to say ...
This is not about Landry. - Of course.
Eight men died that night.
You, Gus and Masachi could not even get out of there. Why do you think you can now?
You know the sandbar at this point, anyway, Bernie? - If.
That man does not know what he is doing. He sends you to death.
You will not reach the sandbar Chatham on a day like this.
You can not stay afloat halftime ship.
Mr. Stello, in the Coast Guard to say: '' You have to go. ''
But they do not tell you to come back.
That's the law, you know.
Bernie, you better get lost before you get too far.
Do not worry about me, Mr. Ryder.
I can not lose here. I know these waters well enough.
How I can lose?
No, Bernie. What Dave is trying to say ...
is that you have to sail around the harbor, say you tried, but could not.
Dank je, Mr. Ryder.
However, Mr. Stello, I will do my best to get there.
I do not know if it works, but I'm trying.
I assume that Richie does? Who else?
I do not know, Gus. You can barely lift his head.
Who is going to take it anymore, Bernie? Fitz is the only technology buff remains.
And it is only the third grade, and lacks experience.
I go. Yes I can do it.
That is, I can do it. You can not go.
You're as sick as a dog, Gus. - You're right, Gus.
One more.
Someone has to go there and rescue guys, right?
That is why it is registered. I think this is my chance.
Sailor Ervin Maske, Stonehorse lightship.
The pumps can not keep up.
Three more feet until they lose those engines.
Kun je volgooien the boiler?
You're crazy if you think you can control with ropes and hand tiller.
You have a better idea? I know.
There are. A sandbar about a mile.
We can save.
Helm, 15 degrees to port. Half the speed if we want to achieve.
, Turn 80 degrees on the compass to 3.10.
Helm, 15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 of the compass.
15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 of the compass.
Helm, 15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 of the compass.
Helm, 15 degrees to port. Half speed. 80 degrees at 3:10 of the compass.
Dank je, Eldon.
Okay, guys. Now pull. Draw, come on.
Tell me bring the boat to a bigger boat.
Have you ever been in a rescue mission? - Do not.
Usually paint chips. Sometimes I cook for the children.
Amazing.
Take it. Ervin, Yes.
Richie, the fall of the aanmeerlijn as soon as possible.
The last known position of Pendleton is here.
When we get to that bar, I believe that the current ...
she must have driven by here. This is 9 km from us.
So you think that Bernie can take us beyond the sandbar this?
I've never seen anything like it.
Yes, just make sure we do not run, that's all.
The force of the waves on the sand, you can pick ...
and run.
There is no way to survive. That's a vortex.
Fitz, it's okay? - Test it.
Let the lines go. - The lines are loose.
Bernie, Gus is left? - Miriam, what are you doing here?
He has gone? - Yes, Cluff fired him.
I want to talk to him.
How? - Cluff.
His commanding officer. Where is?
I have to figure out where Bernie. I worry about him.
We were getting married.
Miriam, this is not what the other girls. Or women.
They do not come here, and they do not.
So?
If you wish, you can expect here. Listen to what is going on.
Sit down.
The tide is rising. Later we went through the bank.
We need to give hard. - Yes, there is no other way.
Golf.
Feel that? They drift. We are the lost helm.
Let's get to slow down, otherwise never get to shore.
Close the valves, stop propulsion. Let's isolate the boiler.
Let's grab everything you have.
I still say, Bouloo. This boat just bad luck.
It has nothing to do with luck.
Chatham train station, this is the CG-36500. Can you hear me?
This station is Chatham. 36500, what is your location through?
Chatham train station, to go long on Morris Island.
Towards the sandbar Chatham. About.
What does it mean to go to the sandbar? - Miriam, do not do this to yourself.
Why not?
Why not, Gus?
When I'm with him, I want to know.
You're the girl with the bearskin, right? - Yes I am.
You wanna tell me what you feel?
Cliffs on sandbar that are never twice in the same place.
The flood moved ...
and tilt, while in the cliff face, or stuck on the sandbar.
When you crash out against the sandbar.
That man does not have to send them to the sandbar in a storm like this.
Perhaps you can turn around. Perhaps they have already lost.
They can not go out.
You know Bernie, right? You know he will not be lost there.
You know he follows the rules. - Yes, we know.
We're all going to dock. Let's see if there's anything we can do.
You can come if you want.
Miriam, kom hier.
Excuse me, you are ordering Cluff? - Who are you?
I am the girlfriend Miriam Pentinen Bernie Webber. I want to recall Bernie.
The lady in which I asked for it. You know what you want to do?
Your permission to marry me. - That's between you, him and his God.
I ask me is just a formality. He can marry whomever she wants.
I did not know? But you can not be here.
It's Bernie.
Chatham sandbar in a straight line along.
- 36500, Chatham train station.
Go to the back of Pendleton.
I have not received Chatham train station. The conditions are extreme.
Why give us permission if you send it to death?
For the love of God? Gouthro out of here.
Lord, the wind has increased from 40 to 60 from the first message.
That will be hurricane strength within an hour. - Gouthro, he has his orders.
So out of here, and go to bed. You're too sick to be here.
36500, Chatham train station, continue on the sandbar.
Again, continue.
If you're over it, go directly south.
The radar showed a beep.
About 16 km east of Monomoy Point to the south. About.
Chatham train station, this is the 500. Thank you.
I have heard what everyone says. You do not know what you are doing.
Excuse me? - Maybe because you are not from the neighborhood.
You do not know how it is there. - How do you know what it feels like, miss?
Please call back.
How do you think is going to marry someone in the Coast Guard?
Please call you back.
Do you come here every time shooed if you are in the water?
Call them back. - You do not belong here.
Call them back. - Out of here. From my station.
And back home where you belong, Miss. - Call back.
Far from my station.
The coast is behind us.
The only possibility is a sharp turn, if the chains holding it.
We could capsize.
That is good.
You must remain, guys.
If such links and chains are broken, so go through you.
Here we go.
She moves.
Hear that? That's the sandbar.
A few more minutes, guys.
when I was a small child
He told my mother
me ahead at full speed
forward
Full speed ahead, Joe
I met a Yankee girl
maar ze vet was in lui
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead, Joe
when I met an Irish girl who drives me crazy
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead, Joe
and now at full speed, we are required to better weather
Full speed ahead
Full speed ahead, Joe
Boys. We will not see much.
So you have to listen to the waves. And counting.
So I'm waiting for a sign, then go. - We have faith that, Skip.
When finished, go, Bernie.
The compass is gone.
Fitzy, motor is dood.
I have it. - No, you are not.
It has about five seconds, guys.
It is gravity, I do not know ... - I know.
Come on, opens.
Maske. Come here.
The tide is rising. This brings us through.
But let me know what is coming.
Hey, Fitz. We are on the sandbar it. Back to the stage.
I'm coming.
We have become too late.
Then we have to go back.
Sybert say we need 30 degrees within two minutes, if not the sandbar lost.
30 degrees within two minutes.
30 degrees within two minutes.
30 degrees within two minutes.
30 degrees within two minutes.
We continue to push back and let us across the ocean.
Hang on.
Hou je vast, Eldon.
Turn it off as soon as she touches it. - Here we go.
Put your brace, gentlemen.
Hang on.
Do not.
New ...
You di it. It worked, Mr. Sybert.
We need to keep away the water in the engine air intakes.
Without energy, we lose our pumps.
We get so much water in which the weight can push us to the sandbar.
It feels weird not to move, right Eldon?
So get to work.
We go to the cabin. All good?
Calm down, do me a favor.
I was on my way home and my car ended up in a ditch. I need help.
Well, we live nearby.
Go to my house. My brother was resolved nothing. Enters.
Thank you. - Do not have a coat?
Then move on. It goes to San Martin for survivors.
My coat is still in the Coast Guard station. - Do you have a guy there?
Hang on.
He is not now.
Is Bernie Webber. - Bernie is a good man.
We find no compass, Bernie.
We have no idea where they are.
Hang on.
It is?
It is? - I'm having fun right, Bernie.
It is fun.
Hang on.
It is very nice here.
Take it, use it. - It's okay.
We have lost the bombs.
Pumps overload circuit breakers. Checking the connection.
Give me the light.
No matter, Bouloo. - Sometimes I wish I did not understand.
Sybert, wat is er aan de hand?
We use all the bombs we have.
The switches are locked to prevent overloads.
Another meter means that the water touches the air intakes of the engine and the boat breaks.
Jesus Christ. - Did you hear that?
The rising tide that pushes us from the sandbar. - This gives us at least once.
Yes, indeed, Mr. Sybert? - That's right.
While generators to operate the pumps.
So we give auxiliary longer.
Sybert wanted to be the man. Now you are.
You just do not have a wife or children.
You are a man who always barricaded down. What you are lost?
Enough, Brown.
I'm afraid, Brown.
Also I have a life, just like you.
I do not see the point of not talking about it.
Train Station Chatham, 36500. Do you hear me?
Chatham Station, DIT is Head Bangs, CG-36383.
You pollock lightship, CG-36500, hear me?
Why not listen to us, Bernie? We hear however.
The water is too high, we can not move forward.
- Station Chatham, do you hear me?
I repeat, we will return.
Chatham train station, CG 36383, back to Old Harbor.
You pollock lightship, CG-36500, hear me?
We're alone.
You heard explosions, it sounds like you can not go ...
and again when the storm gets worse ...
We must return, Webber.
We have gone further than anyone imagined, Bernie.
Perhaps Richie is good and we must return.
The wind is eight to nine. Wind force eight to nine. Heavy snow.
Bangs heard on the radio.
We have no compass and we can not communicate.
You're ... - What am I, Richie?
I, however, have brought us here? Cluff Bangs or not, but I do.
We did, Richie.
Would you return?
No, not now. We've come too far.
We must not give them.
Not while I'm here.
Just do your job.
Turn off the light, Fitz. We work in the dark.
We can see the light of Pendleton faster in the dark.
Look outside.
Return.
Get your ass back.
I lost my hat.
You're good?
Yeah, I'm just tired. Come on.
You will play in the bedroom.
You can expect them, while I call my brother.
Thank you. Miriam call me.
Does your mother mind if I turn on the radio?
Kustwacht Boston, dit is Unimak.
We are at the bow of Mercer, in support of Yakutat.
Four members of the crew of the Mercer jumped from the deck. Everything is lost.
I repeat, I lost four men. Several crew members were hypothermia.
Tomorrow morning we conducted a new rescue attempt. About.
From Listening does you no good, Miriam. You have to learn to live with that uncertainty.
How long have you been married to Bernie? - US ...
We're not married yet.
I'm not sure ... - As I said, Bernie's a good man.
It has saved a year ago my husband Arnie and crew of Landry.
They were fishing in Nantucket Sound when water entered the ship.
A night like this.
Come on, we need to go.
My brother comes. I have to go to the cabin. Come on guys.
because people said sit sit, allow you to move the boat
because people said sit sit, allow you to move the boat
the devil you can pull down the sharp edges of his coat
Sit, sit, sit
Do you know who he is?
It is not the fault of Bernie. No one. That would be like she is blaming you.
Why?
You said there was another ship. Because they sit there, right?
Fitz, the spotlight is turned on.
I can not believe we found it. Look.
We arrived too late. It's a ghost ship.
See this? You see? - Yes, I see it.
I dont know.
Where are you going?
Good to see you.
Careful.
How can we all get on the boat? - There are 12 people capacity, including us.
Those are the rules, but?
How much they can handle?
20, 22 maximum.
Wait.
They come here.
Releasing the propeller. - Bakboord.
Come on, I have you.
We got you.
Mask, Kom here.
Come on. - Get the.
U weet nu weg, Miss?
I think so.
Thank you for your help, Mr. Nickerson.
You know ...
Bernie'm not there. - I know.
That is the work of Bernie?
How then can I blame?
Calm down, there will be no problem. Pete, you're next.
Slow down the speed. - Come on.
We have to go out. - We leave no one behind.
Go on that ladder, Eldon. - They must be down.
We do not have time.
She escapes. We must get off this ship.
Come on.
What's up, Eldon?
I'm scared.
It becomes much scarier here without us.
- Listen to me.
Eldon.
- We're all going down, so do not push.
Follow me. If anyone can, he can.
Come on.
Hou je vast, Eldon.
Hou vol, Tiny.
Eldon.
Eldon, look at me.
When I jump 'say, let go. Are you ready?
Spring.
It is?
Hang on.
We are so heavy that driving is difficult.
It is said that there are seven or eight on board.
First, we can bring them back and then back again.
We can not leave them alone. The boat does not like.
We live or die together.
True?
You did well.
Finally I have to go out, Mr. Sybert.
The last man.
Fitz turn off the reflector.
We have radio contact with McCullough.
They have lost four men, but kept the rest. The captain said Pollock Rip ...
Mr. Cluff, is the 36500. It Bernie on the radio.
Chatham train station, you hear me?
CG-36500, this Chatham train station. It is, Webber?
Yes, sir, this is Bernie.
We've found 32 survivors on board Pendleton.
Chatham train station, you hear me?
36500, Station Chatham. You say you have 32 survivors on board?
32 have been rescued.
- Yes, 32.
We have lost our compass, so we do not know where we are ...
but we are trying to get home.
They do not return without a compass. - Not at this time.
They can not return.
You are your compass lost Webber.
No. 36500, this lighthouse is the Pollock. Reached the coast.
We are eight kilometers northeast of the last location of Pendleton.
Come to our position, change.
- CG-36500, Station Chatham ...
Pollock lightship go and put all the survivors.
What do you know well, right?
Still, Richie?
CG-36500, you hear me?
If they know where they are ...
then someone tell me where I am, because I have no idea.
Webber, you hear me?
I do not go to sea.
- This is the Chatham train station. Can you hear me?
We have just taken a boat and what not to put in another.
CG-36500, DIT is the Chatham station.
Webber, crossing eight kilometers northeast and turn off all survivors in Pollock.
I think radio capable, Mr. Cluff. He will do this on your own.
Bernie Webber.
How I had thought dat?
How they come home?
He turned the radio.
Poor guys. - I can not believe this happened.
There's more in the car.
The power went out. - How do I get home?
We have no power.
The power is out throughout the city.
It's worse than last year. - They never will.
Let's go to the pier.
How did you find us without a compass?
We look at seasonal streams.
I think we were lucky.
The happiness.
You know how to get home?
Frankly, I'm not sure.
I ignored the orders of my superiors. They do not know what I have to, eh?
The wind was on my left when I left.
If they are right, we will go in the right direction.
We are following all the lights of the coast.
We have been delivered to you, Captain.
Hear.
I love the sea behind us.
Let pushes us until we build something.
The storm subsides, which are guided by the lights of the coast.
And if we all the way to the tip of Nobska, then so be it. We have to find land.
It was a long day, huh?
Yes, definitely.
But do not lose hope.
She's a good ship. They help us through this.
We get home, okay? All we go home.
We are behind you, captain.
Keep the lights on, as they did.
- You will soon light.
Put the lights, everyone.
More light, so they can see.
I think we're about it.
The tide has helped us.
See that, Richie?
Fitz, the spotlight is turned on.
Look, you realize?
They are?
Well done, Bernie.
It worked, Webber. - Super.
36500 Chatham docks at the pier.
There are 32 survivors. I repeat: 32.
If so, throw.
Well done, Bernie.
Help the hen yet.
Good to see you. Come here.
Quiet. - We thought we'd lost.
This man is cold. Give me a coat. - Go inside. There are hot.
We take you to the cottage.
Here we go. I have you.
Well done, Captain.
Well done, Bernie.
Bernie.
We're going home.
It goes until April 16?
I asked Cluff for you.
He said it was a ... - is formality.
Now I know, huh?
What Bernie Webber, Richard Livesey, Andy Fitzgerald and Ervin Maske arrived ...
on the afternoon of February 18, 1952 ...
still it considered as the biggest bailout in history, for a small boat.
Bernie and Miriam were married at the time they had selected.
They remained married for 58 years Bernie's death at the age of 81 in 2009.
The four members of the Coast Guard received the Gold Lifesaving Medal for their actions.
