This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   Bernie is to be awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal while his crew will only get the Silver Lifesaving Medal. Bernie is angry with a captain and says he will refuse the medal unless his crewmen also get the gold medal. No details about this in the movie.
   The book goes into much more detail about crew members life after the rescue as well as extensive details on the SS Pendleton and SS Mercer. Movie ends with a few details on Bernie and Miriam's wedding date and his length of service in the Coast Guard. End credits show real life crew along with the actors portraying them.
