The Finest Hours (2016)

A daring rescue attempt was made by the Coast Guard during a February blizzard in 1952. This was one of the worst blizzards that ever hit New England. It not only damaged a tanker at Cape Cod it actually ripped it in half. Faced with 70 foot waves and frigid temperatures a small lifeboat carrying for members of the Coast Guard went out to see to rescue over 30 sailors that were trapped on the rapidly sinking vessel.
