Description
During a storied 42-year Coast Guard career, John "Jack" Downey, a Rhode Island native, would be credited with saving more than 700 mariners in distress during 5,000 rescues in New England waters. Across hundreds of missions, Downey and his crews rescued eleven passengers from the ferry Sea Comet, 108 elderly passengers from the Pilgrim Belle, and he participated in search and rescue efforts for the air crashes of JFK, Jr. and Egypt Air 990. A natural born leader, Downey was named the Coast Guard's first Ancient Keeper for his lifetime commitment to keeping people safe on the seas. Authors Captain Russ Webster and Captain Michael Cicalese recount the extraordinary career of this lifesaver and how he honored the old ways of the sea while serving in three different government departments.
