Bernard Challen Webber (May 9, 1928 – January 24, 2009) was a United States Coast Guardsman.
He was a petty officer assigned to Coast Guard Station Chatham, Massachusetts, where one of his duties was that of coxswain of Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat CG 36500. Webber and his crew of three rescued the crew of the stricken T2 tanker SS Pendleton, which had broken in half during a storm on February 18, 1952 off Cape Cod.
Webber maneuvered the 36-foot lifeboat under Pendleton’s stern as the tanker’s crew, trapped in the stern section, abandoned the wreck of their ship on a Jacob’s ladder into the Coast Guard motor lifeboat.
