MIRACLE OFF CAPE COD (PT 2) THE PENDLETON/FT.MERCER TANKER RESCUES 1952

1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries Podcast

In part two we cover the finding of the Pendleton bow section with all hands lost, and the rescue of the Ft. Mercer bow and stern sections in high seas off Cape Cod. At the end- parts of a Cape Cod Times interview with Andrew Fitzgerald; portions of the Coast Guard memorial flag ceremony for Berne Webber with words from USCG Master Chief Petty Officer Jack Downey; also included a Disneyworld tribute for Andrew Fitzgerald. Credits given in this episode to ,The Finest Hour' authors Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman. There were dozens of heroes involved in the 1952 rescues and they didn't all make this story but their courage and sacrifices are appreciated, as is the U.S. Coast Guard Service and the men and women who served and who serve today.
