Über diesen Titel

In November 1972, the Coast Guard Cutter Jarvis ran aground during a violent storm in Alaska, puncturing its hull, with a temporary patch applied to stop the flooding. The following day, enroute back to Honolulu, another, more vicious, storm struck; Jarvis now struggled with over 13 feet of water in their engine room and no power. The nearest ship that volunteered to assist was scheduled to arrive 30 minutes after the Jarvis officers estimated the ship would be destroyed on the rocky coastline. Wind gusts struck at 70 knots, hail and snow was falling, and at one time, Jarvis hit a swell at a 60-degree angle. This is the true story of the grounding and near-sinking of the Coast Guard's newest ship and the heroic efforts by the crew that saved the ship.
