His and his station's story will be featured on the big screen when The Finest Hours premieres later this month. This Coast Guardsman is Bernard Webber, coxswain of motor lifeboat CG-36500, from Station Chatham, Massachusetts. Into a Raging Sea is a personal memoir by a Coast Guardsmen who truly knew his purpose and then some. The Admiral gushes: "When I introduced my leadership philosophy a year ago, the first principle I shared was know your purpose. Into A Raging Sea, just released by Legato publisher On Cape Publications (an imprint of Good Night Books) has been selected as the first book in the US Coast Guard's 2016 Commandant's Reading List, written by Coast Guard Commandant Adm.
And in the background of Bernie's journey is one constant, the sea. Into a Raging Sea is a story of sacrifice, bravery, disappointment, and challenges. In these pages you'll read about rescue attempts that did not turn out well, stories of fishermen from a time long past, rescues done with the by-gone technique of the "breeches buoy," humorous anecdotes, and what Cape Cod and its people meant to Bernie. In Into A Raging Sea, Bernie tells that story, but the book is so much more than that.
Rescuing 32 sailors from a sinking ship caught in a ferocious winter storm is a dramatic tale, but what made this mission so special is that the boat Bernie skippered that terrible night was a mere 36 feet in length and the waves were almost twice that size! Bernie and crew received the Coast Guard's coveted Gold Lifesaving Medal, and what they did on that stormy night is regarded as the greatest small boat rescue in history.
