The Finest Hours Analysis
It was “the Finest Hours “by Melissa Wlostoski

When I first saw the preview for this movie it was before another movie I wanted to see at that time. I found myself to be inrterested in seeing movie. When I went to see the movie The 33 at movie theater at the hampshire mall, after that I saw a movie poster that had tagline on it which said “32 survivors ,Room for 12.” That made me even more interested in seeing it. I wonder if it was as incredible as the story that the 33 movie was based on. I was right. I won't say how many people got off that boat alive. But let me at least state that locals out of the town this happen near found it to be incredible as well.

The coast guard crew were amazing through out this. They had deal with waves that took the roof off their boat and made them lose

She asks him to marry her and he seem a little reculnat about it. He clearly like her and are together a year later when this incredible rescue starts to happen. There is a concern about leaving her a widow coming from him. But she is there on dock when he make it back from the rescue and they are together for a long time after.

I saw a movie called the Guardian which featured the coast guards and it gave me a decent opinion about them. But this movie about this rescue leaves me very impressed with them. The incredibleness of this movie is added to due to this happened in 1952 along with the whole thing “32 survivors, room for 12, I mentioned. The boat that used in this rescue is on “the National Register of Historic Places” and people are seeking funds for the restoration of the boat. in museum. The title for the movie “The Finest Hours” was well chosen and I believe it describle the whole rescue very well. The coast guard in fact called it “the greatest small boat rescue”in coast guard history.” I agree with that

    Raymer’s main argument or emphasis conveyed was of the many hazards that were presented to the salvage and rescue divers during the aftermath of the hectic attack. The general concept was of the intensive salvage operations that were conducted which equated to over 20,000 man-hours underwater. Several interesting facts are described by Raymer which the average person would have no idea about, such as the dangers of entering a room that was once sealed but contains rust due to the fact that the iron oxide components of rust deplete oxygen which would suffocate an unprepared diver upon entering. The dangers of the job of a diver are clearly substantiated and validated in Raymer’s book, and successfully serve great justice to divers who worked in the harshest conditions. Raymer does an excellent job…

    There are a couple of things that were very unlikely to happen. Sea monsters are easy to dismiss, because why were the lifeboat, navigational tabled and the sextant gone? Secondly, piracy.

Any valuables that the ship might have held were untouched. Others say that there was a mutiny. Anne MacGregor, a medical researcher, interviewed some crewmen’s descendants about that the crew…
