And the storm struck

The true story of the most brave salvation at sea by coastal security of the United States
This happened on February 12, 1952. The hurricane, raging in the northeast of the United States, gave rise to the strongest storm that covered the entire coast. Near the peninsula, the element case overtook two tankers - "Fort Merus" and "Pendleton". Having discovered a leak, the crew of the ship "Fort Mercer" sent a distress signal. The report said that the tanker was cracking. The coast guard in the midst of the storm, using wooden motor boats, went to save the crew of two oil tankers.
