Ten hours until dawn

In the middle of the Blizzard of 1978, an oil tanker was in trouble in the Salem Sound shoals off the Massachusetts coast. The Coast Guard immediately dispatched a patrol boat that was soon in as much trouble as the tanker. The captain of the pilot boat, the Can Do, was monitoring radio transmissions and when the Coast Guard boat reported problems the Can Do responded with her crew of four and became part of a true account of bravery and death at sea.
