On February 18, 1952, four brave Coast Guardsmen from Chatham set out to rescue the crew of the SS Pendleton, a tanker that had broken in half and was drifting off Monomoy Island. Battling towering waves, freezing winds, and treacherous shoals, the crew achieved what is still hailed as The Coast Guard’s Greatest Small Boat Rescue.
