| This week for my photos, a number of images I took of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba (WMEC-907) returing home to Boston on October 20th after a 65 day patrol. The Escanaba is one of thirteen 270' Famous Class medium endurance cutters. Until recently, there were 3 such cutters out of Boston, with the Seneca (WMEC-906) moving to Virginia in September. Escanaba and the other Boston based cutter, Spencer (WMEC-905), will also be moving to Virginia in the near future. The Coast Guard has plans of replacing these cutters with six of the newer 154' Fast Response Cutters. The 270' Famous Class cutters are over 30 years old and a new class of 360' class cutter is planned to replace them with the first one expected to be delivered to the Coast Guard in 2022. Two of these new 360' cutters are slotted for Newport, RI. Who knows where Johnny G will end up next.
I am always looking for photos of old Stoneham (Mass) apparatus, incidents or members for my personal collection if anyone can help. A digital scan is perfectly fine, I don't need an original as long as the scan is big enough to print out. I also can scan photos, slides and negatives and then give them back to you if that is easier. CLICK FOR EMAIL. |
