Wordless Wednesday: Men of the Eastwind #3

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 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.

  1. This young man looks like a film star, very handsome. I wonder where he is now and if life was good to him.

  2. He certainly looks cheerful enough even though it was probably very cold there.

  3. Great photo! I hope some of these young men's photos are found by family.

    Thanks for the suggestion/reminder about searching both RootsWeb & GenForum. I guess I usually don't specifically search those areas, but I often run across them while doing Google or something. When I did research in the 1990's, those sites were MOST of my online research! :)
