On September 14, 1944 during a massive hurricane, the CGC Jackson & Bedloe were sunk with the loss of 47 crew. Both vessels were escorting the Liberty ship George Ade which had been torpedoed by U518 and in tow by the Navy vessel ATR-6 off of Cape Hatteras NC. The same hurricane sent the Coast Guard Lightship Vineyard Shoals to the bottom with all hands.

Come dive on Saturday the 13th and Sunday September 14th 2014 with Bill McDermott and The Outer Banks Dive Center in Nags Head NC for a dive on both these sites for dives on these historic sites and a Memorial Service honoring those deceased and those that survived
