Summary
[edit]DescriptionSS Fort Mercer, bow prior to sinking.jpg |
English: Crewmen of the U.S. Coast Guard YAKUTAT draw in a rubber liferaft with the last two survivors from the bow section of the broken tanker SS FORT MERCER.
Twenty minutes later the broken hulk heaved into the air and turned keel upward to sink into the sea. Four of nine men stranded on the bow section were rescued by the YAKUTAT. The others disappeared in the sea - four while jumping during a rescue attempt under the canopy of evening darkness (February 18, 1952) when a line holding three liferafts parted, and one while transferring from the after end of the hulk to the forward section during the night when rescue attempts were abandoned until daylight."[1] |
