Wordless Wednesday: Men of the Eastwind #1

Wordless Wednesday is a daily prompt at Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which the main focus is a photograph or image.


Unknown sailor on USCGC Eastwind about 1946 or 47


When my dad was stationed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Eastwind in 1946-47, he took pictures of his shipmates during tours to Thule, Greenland but didn’t provide names.  Maybe the family of these sailors will find my blog and share their story.

  5. Oh I hope that someone finds this photo. And I hope someone with my family's photos (surely there is someone!) decides to the do the same.

    1. I had never considered the possibility that someone out there in cyberland could be posting photos of my family but I just don't know it. Wouldn't that be fantastic!

  6. That's a great photo and hopefully someone will come forward some day and identify him. My husband's grandfather passed away a year and a half ago and we have since found several very tiny, postage stamp sized photos of those in the navy in WWII with him. I might try posting them, too!
