Description
Two unidentified United States sailors unwrap blankets brought to stranded sailors from Thailand. In the background, their ship, the HMTS Prasae can be seen where she grounded on the Korean coast during a blizzard. The Prasae was part of a United Nations operation when she ran aground. Gunfire from the USS Manchester protected the stranded sailors and rescuers from enemy troops.
