Coast Guard Lifeboat Station, Hatteras Inlet.
 When
accidents do occur at sea, the chance of rescue is greatly
increased over the days of lifesavers patrolling the beach for
signs of wreckage. Satellite emergency beacons instantly notify
rescue authorities when a ship gets in trouble at sea. The U.
S. Coast Guard is fully equipped and trained to accomplish sea
rescue under the most severe conditions. Their tools include
highly trained pilots, rescue swimmers, helicopters and modern
lifesaving boats that automatically right themselves in violent
seas.
Today, in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, a mariner in trouble
stands a much better chance of surviving than those of the past.

explanations, examples and imagery of today's technology at sea.
