The United States Coast Guard has policed the nation's
waters since the 1790s. From the first official vessels of the U.S.
Government to today's specialized lifesaving craft, the ships of the Guard
have played a vital role in maritime history. This in-depth program goes
aboard some of the many craft employed by the Coast Guard, from the small
boats used for shoreline rescue operations to the deep-sea patrol ships that
form the vanguard in America's war against drugs. See dramatic footage of
real-life search and rescue operations, and hear incredible stories of
life-and-death missions from Coast Guard sailors and officers. And trace the
evolution of the Guards' ships from the earliest Revenue Cutters to the
myriad vessels of the modern force. |

A look at the technology that changed the
serious game of Search and Rescue forever. First, we travel to the Coast
Guard's Motor Lifeboat School at the mouth of Oregon's Columbia River, the
training ground for High Surf Rescue. Then, we trace the evolution of
life-saving technology at sea, and learn why the VHF radio and EPIRP
(Emergency Position Indication Radio Beacon) have kept pleasure boaters
safe, while sometimes sticking a thorn in the side of the Coast Guard. |
