Happy (one of several) Birthday Coast Guard

If you aren't reading Bryant's Maritime Consulting Blog you should. Dennis Bryant skillfully collects the most interesting and timely maritime news stories and packages it for early delivery. You can add the blog to your reader or subscribe by email (which is how Amver does it).

Today Dennis correctly points out that January 28th is the anniversary of the Congressional Act establishing the United States Coast Guard. Yup, the Life Saving Service was combined with Revenue Cutter Service in 1915!
