In honor of its 217th birthday on Saturday, the Coast Guard announced its list of what it has
deemed its top 10 rescues ever, ranging from helicopter rescues of people plucked off roofs
after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to a two-day series of rescues in 1888 of 28 people from five
different vessels that wrecked in a storm off Massachusetts.
