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.
