Gloria Mae, The Heroine Of Dunkirk Harbor

Based on a real life rescue on Lake Erie in Dunkirk, New York, Gloria Mae, a veteran harbor tugboat, is beginning to be overshadowed by younger, flashier boats until one day a sudden, winter storm blows in and traps a fisherman and the boats who try and rescue him. Desperate to reach them and unable to do so because of the build-up of ice on the lake, the rescuers turn to Gloria Mae who has the experience and stamina to brave the elements. She tows everyone to safety and becomes the "Heroine of Dunkirk Harbor."
