I love that hull shape. Kind of conventional for the first half of the fretboard, then a hint of tumblehome.

This week's work is of the USCGC Eastwind. It is seen here returning to port. Line handlers from the CGC Unimak are seen waiting on the pier. You can see the line handlers, probably in undress blues, in their olive cold weather jackets ready to help with tying up the boat. You can also see the crew lowering multiple fenders off the port side. If you look at the crew on the Unimak, one can almost see crewmen dressed down in dungarees.

The Eastwind was a "Wind" Class icebreaker. She was laid down in 1942. She was sold for scrap and last seen at the breakers in 1977. This picture was taken from here.
