In the Book	In the Movie
When the radar at Chatham Station is fixed they see two objects on the screen (SS Pendleton) but wonder what they could be since the SS Mercer would not be in that location. A pilot searching for survivors sees the bow of the SS Pendleton and radios an alert that is picked up by other ships and shore stations.	A resident (Mr. Nickerson) on shore sees a ship adrift and hears the whistle. He tells Bernie. Bernie and his crew return to the station where they are told about the SS Pendleton.
This does not happen in the book.	The SS Pendleton crew is shown rigging up a manual tiller to steer the ship.
The crew decides not to launch the lifeboat.	While some men are up on deck arguing about the lifeboat, Sybert uses an ax to launch it empty where it is immediately crushed by the waves against the hull. He then takes charge of the crew.
Bernie is ordered to take a crew(Livesey, Fitzgerald and Maske) out on CG36500 to the SS Pendleton. John Stello (local fisherman) shouts “You guys better get lost before you get out too far” to them as they row out to the lifeboat.	Bernie is ordered by Cluff to take the CG36500 out with a crew to rescue the crew of the SS Pendleton. Mr Ryder and some of the men present try to talk him out of it; tell him to get lost instead of dying. Bernie says he will attempt the rescue anyway.
Miriam was home sick in bed at the time.	Miriam (while at work) tries to call Bernie before he goes out, he doesn't pick up the phone.
