This week, history meets Hollywood with the release of the new film, The Finest Hours. The film, whose trailer might remind you of The Perfect Storm, is also a true story with high stakes and a surprising ending.
The Finest Hours depicts a dramatic, unbelievable rescue at sea against all odds. It’s the story of Bernie Webber, one of the crew members who was asked to go out in the middle of a raging Nor’easter with three other volunteers to save the crew of the Pendleton, a tanker that had split in two off the coast of Massachusetts.
