Overview

In November 1972, the Coast Guard Cutter Jarvis ran aground during a violent storm in Alaska, puncturing its hull, with a temporary patch applied to stop the flooding. The following day, enroute back to Honolulu, another, more vicious, storm struck; Jarvis now struggled with over thirteen feet of water in their engine room and no power. The nearest ship that volunteered to assist was scheduled to arrive thirty minutes after the Jarvis officers estimated the ship would be destroyed on the rocky coastline. Wind gusts struck at seventy-knots, hail and snow was falling, and at one time, Jarvis hit a swell at a sixty-degree angle. This is the true story of the grounding and near-sinking of the Coast Guard's newest ship and the heroic efforts by the crew that saved the ship.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

“Captain Craig has accurately captured the riveting, untold story of CGC Jarvis…His writing encompasses the raw emotion and desperation of the crew, as we fought to prevent the ship from sinking and the most certain death of all onboard.” —Commander Richard G. Brunke, USCG (Ret.)

“The author makes you part of the crew, pulling you into peril with them…Although human nature rises to heroic action in the worst situations, after reading this book you may never want to get on a ship again!” —CWO4 Paul C. Scotti, USCG (Ret.), author of Coast Guard Action in Vietnam

“It is a fine piece of research and writing that should be required reading for anyone in a leadership position who is entrusted with ensuring the safe operations of a ship that operates in harm’s way.” —Rear Admiral Bobby Hollingsworth, USCG (Ret.), Second Commanding Officer of the CGC Jarvis

“Captain Steve Craig has captured the core values of the Coast Guard: Honor in the explanation of our service, Respect for those who came before us and the challenge of each Coastguardsman to equal or exceed their accomplishments, and Devotion to Duty in the daily routine of being underway and the can-do-and-persevere attitude when faced with the challenge of saving their shipmates and the Jarvis. BRAVO ZULU CAPT Craig.”—Admiral Steve Day, USCGR (Ret.)
