THE OLDEST MILITARY DEPARTMENT IN THE US- THE COAST GUARD....The Detroit Belle Isle Station

THE GADFLY took a tour of the Coast Guard Station this summer in Detroit. We toured it with one of their Law Enforcement Officers and had a great time. We toured their boat docking area, dining room, meeting room, weigh room, and most of the rest of the Base.

 

 

 

 

The entrance of the Detroit Coast Guard Station- There's MASCOTS 'Jean Luc' & 'Gurwin'!

According to the Boating Safety Resource Center, the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD assists ships carrying cargo (due to ice blockage problems) during winter carrying about 200,000 tons of cargo on the Detroit River. These ships can continue on their journey due to the assistance of the Coast Guard!

              CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO OF THE TOUR!

It was great talking to our Tour Guide, an experienced Law Enforcement Officer. He loves Detroit and like several other Soldiers we talked to- are new to snow! Our guide looks forward to more snow this year!

They train year round including ice rescues without notice to the teams. They have a pond in Belle Isle park that they use! Their personnel includes different ages and both men and women.

They do work in conjunction with their Canadian counterparts in an emergency.
