American soldiers aboard appeared lost as the little craft settled in the English Channel waters. Along came a Coast Guard Rescue Cutter poking boldly into the shoal waters. A line was cast and made fast. The Coast Guard 83-footer and its tow were soon headed out from danger, June 1944. (5/19/2015).
