In late May of 1980, in mid-Atlantic, Dawn was crucial in saving 7 lives. Myself and 6 others were on board a 45 feet brigantine rigged schooner sinking after sustaining a severe storm. The USCG asked that Dawn stay with us while they sent a rescue plane. Dawn stayed with us for at least 24 hours circling our ship. The Dawn crew helped in recuperating a barrel parachuted to us by USCG.
Unfortunately we never had a chance to thank these men. I am sad to see such a beautiful ship under deconstruction....
