Two giant ships have been poorly built and split in half in
one of the largest North Eastern storms ever recorded. There is nobody close to
the shipwrecks except a small coast guard station called the Chatham Lifeboat
Station. Four men on a 36 foot lifeboat, lead by Captain Bernie Webber must
lead his ship into the storm to save the lives of nearly 40 men, while the
other ship must wait to get help from a larger ship near them.
I thought this was a very interesting story of sea rescue,
it’s a little confusing at first but near the end it gets really interesting. I like how in depth
this book went, and the best part is that this is only a small version of the
book. The original book is probably a lot more violent and in detail.
