New Film: You Have To Go Out...
You have to go out… tells the story of the rescue of the H.P. Kirkham. On a frigid winter night the three-masted schooner ran aground 15 miles off Nantucket, on the dreaded Rose and Crown shoal. The Coskata crew’s 26-hour journey to rescue the crew and captain of that doomed ship is the stuff of United States Life-Saving Service legend. The film was produced and directed by John Stanton of Shouldered Oar Films and is shown at the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum throughout the day.
