STORM
WARRIORS tells
the dramatic story of shipwrecks and rescues in America's early Coast
Guard, the United States Life-Saving Service. These heroes of the
surf used iron courage and super-human efforts to rescue shipwreck victims.
Their story is told through the imaginative use of a re-created rescue, archival motion pictures, photographs, and interviews with historians. Viewers learn how and why the Life-Saving service was formed, methods they used for rescue, and of outstanding men like Joshua James and Owen Chase. Noted authors Ralph Shanks and Wick York appear in the film with Life-Saving Service historian Maurice Gibbs. Shot on location in 7 states, the film captures the national significance of this great humanitarian organization.
