27223. Sutherland, Kenneth G. UNITED STATES COAST GUARD HARBOR PATROL FLEET 1924-1980. Bloomington. 2007. Soft wraps. 248p. One of the most important activities of the U.S. Coast Guard is Port Security under the control of the Captain of the Port. This book is a first attempt to collect and share data on the various types of small boats used by the C.O.T.P. On June 15th, 1917, Congress passed the Espionage Act, forming the basis for the Coast Guard’s Port Security and Port Safety Missions and by 1918, jurisdiction over the anchorage and movement of vessels in harbors changed from the War Department to the Treasury Department, with Coast Guard officers as Captains of the Ports. The U. S. Coast Guard’s Port Security Small Boat Stations and Units have a long and proud tradition of duty and service, from enforcing the rules and regulations to anti-sabotage patrols, search and rescue, fire-fighting, and placing marine inspection teams aboard large supertankers underway in all weather conditions. Covering the period from 1924-1980, this book provides the first look at the variety of craft used to carry out these missions. (M). Published at $34.99. Our price $31.99.
