U.S. Life-Saving Service

I took these pictures at the Maritime Museum in Glen Haven, Michigan. The museum is made up of several buildings on the shore of Lake Michigan in Glen Haven, Michigan, and is part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. In my humble opinion, the displays and interpretive information are first rate.

The U.S. Life-Saving Service dates from 1848; it merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the Coast Guard in 1915. For more information, please go here.

🇺🇸 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep, It's own appointment limits keep, O hear us when we cry to thee, For those in peril on the sea!

Foggy Sunday early evenings call for a good cigar and some whiskey. In this case, we have the Prideful Goat 6 year cask strength rye and a Rocky Patel 10th Anniversary box press cigar. There are really nice notes of butterscotch, jam, some dark chocolate, and rye spice. .... So I know there is some kind of annual Hollywood award show tonight, but I'm putting some smoke in the air and raising a glass to a different set of awardees. On Friday, the 47th Joint Culinary Training Exercise at Ft Lee was completed. This multi-service culinary competition challenges teams and individuals from the various services to cook their best against each other in hopes of winning it all to go on to compete against civilian chefs later this year. For the 3rd year in a row Team Coast Guard sliced, diced, and served up a win against all the other competitors bringing home 7 gold, 10 silver, and 5 bronze medals as well as Installation, Chef, and Pastery Chef of the Year, Best in Show for Mobile Kitchen (on Army gear) and Contemporary Food, as well as runner-up Student Team and Cold Food Buffet. Additionally, CS1 Danielle Hughes, CS1 John Toman, and CS1 Jeff Plotz were chosen to join the Army Cullinary Arts Team for the Cullinary Arts Olympics in Germany. Way to go Team Coast Guard!

Many of you will not know what these are or where they are located. I see them almost daily and the numbers increase or decrease throughout the year. These are damaged river buoys, red for east side of river, and green for west side. They are connected by heavy duty chains to a large concrete chunk with error inside. We have observed the Coast Guard Cutter Wyaconda, with its attached barge and crane, taking new replacements out for a few weeks, and return with the damaged ones. They are then piled here until a semi truck comes to load them to be melted and reused for other things (according to the truck drivers). Head down to the South side of the Ice Harbor Port of Dubuque. #editorialphotography #uscoastguard #buoy #river #streetphotography #travelphotography #rmcadphotographers #rmcadwip #dubuqueiowa #portofdubuque #snow #wonderfulmachine #photographer #500px #bnwphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CmTIuUQu5BM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Live Updates: Noises Detected during Search for Missing Titanic Submarine as OceanGate faces safety questions

On June 21, 2023, the search for the Missing Titanic submarine, which was en route to explore the Titanic wreckage, continued with intensive efforts and various assets involved. The submersible, operated by OceanGate Expeditions, carried five individuals, including British adventurer Hamish Harding, Pakistani father-son duo Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, and Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet . The search area, located off the coast of Newfoundland, posed significant challenges due to the depth of the wreckage site, which is approximately 12,500 feet below the surface . The search operation involved multiple vessels, including the US Coast Guard, Canadian Coast Guard, and a French research ship named Atalante. The Canadian military surveillance aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area, providing hope for the ongoing rescue operation. However, despite extensive search efforts covering over 25,900 square kilometers of sea, no positive results had been found at that time . Conti......... Read the full article

Ahoy there! It looks like we're in for some stormy seas ahead. God bless the USA 🇺🇸.

Sneaking in a cigar by the fire before the next storm rolls in tomorrow. Pouring out a glass of Maker's Mark Private Selection All Ranks: By Vets, For Vets Release 002 paired with a Rocky Patel Vintage 2008 Cameroon via the Disney Cruise Line (thanks mom and dad). Revisiting this bottle brings notes of jammy berries, cherries, oak, tobacco, and a long finish. ... Today is National K9 Veteran's Day, so in that spirit, here's a toast to gooddest doggos in the service, past and present. Whether they be unit mascots or working dog teams, they are all a Coastie's best friend. March 13, 1942 was the day k9s officially became members of the US Armed Forces. During WWII, more than 2,000 dogs served in Coast Guard K9 teams as part of the beach patrol. In the 1990s, the USCG employed narcotics detection dogs and post 9/11 USCG K9 teams specialized in explosives detection. Unit mascots have been around since the earliest days of the service and have included some amazing dogs like Sinbad, SPAR, Doc Sunshine, Boomer, Flash, Thor, Loki, and Onyx. So raise a glass to those four-legged Coasties that serve beside us, order a round of chew toys and pupacinos for all with a side of belly rubs. ... “Sinbad was a salty sailor, but he’s not a good sailor. He'll never rate gold hash marks nor good conduct medals. He’s been on report several times, and he’s raised hell in a number of ports. On a few occasions, he has embarrassed the United States government by creating disturbances in foreign zones. Perhaps that's why Coast Guardsmen love Sinbad; he’s as bad as the worst and as good as the best of us.” - Eddie Lloyd, USCG Magazine ... #k9veteransday #uscg #uscoastguard #cigar #CigarAfficionado #pssita #sailorandsticks #cigarsandwhiskey #whiskey #makersmark #WhiskeyNeat #WhiskeyAfficionado #whiskyandhistory #bourbon #quote #quotestagram (at Coastal San Pedro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwU6phuA6N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
