A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter from the Salem Air Station (Massachusetts) lowers a basket to a dory to air lift Coast Guardsman Charles Bailey, CSI, a crewman from the Nantucket Lightship on June 8, 1956 who had been stricken with an appendicitis attack.

He was transported to the Brighton Marine Hospital.
