Occurred in 1952 off the coast of Cape Cod, two oil tankers, the SS Fort Mercer and SS Pendleton, were destroyed by the winter winds and waves of the sea, causing massive destruction. The crew of the boat were saved by a small boat, which acted quickly and heroically to save the lives of almost all members of the crew of the vessels, risking their lives in the ocean.
