- Webster, W. Russell and USCG (Ret) Capt. Michael A. Cicalese. New England’s Lifesaver – Coast Guard Legend Master Chief Jack Downey. 2025. History Press. 176p. Soft wraps. During a storied forty-two-year Coast Guard career, John “Jack” Downey, a Rhode Island native, would be credited with saving more than 700 mariners in distress during five thousand rescues in New England waters. Across thousands of missions, Downey and his crews rescued 11 passengers from the ferry Sea Comet and 108 elderly passengers from the Pilgrim Belle, and he participated in search-and-rescue efforts for the air crashes of JFK Jr. and Egypt Air 990. A natural-born leader, Downey was named the Coast Guard’s first Ancient Keeper for his lifetime commitment to keeping people safe on the seas. Authors Captain Russ Webster and Captain Michael Cicalese recount the extraordinary career of this legendary lifesaver and how he honored the old ways of the sea while serving in three different government departments – on surfboats, cutters and an icebreaker, and in command positions at various stations including Brant Point on Nantucket and Station Chatham on Cape Cod.
