Reserved - This video tape was derived from a number of 8mm films from a hand held motion picture camera that tracked much of the event. As Captain Bailey indicated, the camera was on board and there was a lot of film available in the ships exchange. As expected there is more graininess from that process but that is almost forgotten by the viewer as the story unfolds, masterfully narrated by the Captain.
Background music lends interest to the presentation.
It is a good story and one of the first filmed under these adversities showing the work of the Coast Guard effecting a rescue on the open ocean. This was offset by the generous media treatment of this SAR event. The cut was restored subsequent to a detailed account of the rescue submitted by a prominent Member of the House and published in the Congressional Record. This film belongs in every Coast Guardsman's library . Stations built along the North Carolina Coast.
