USCG Station in Osterville, MA[edit]

Location: 41.623653, -70.397218 ( https://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.623653,+-70.397218&hl=en&sll=42.036922,-71.683501&sspn=2.411074,4.850464&t=h&z=16 )

During the 1980's the USCG rented the above property, then just a boathouse with a loft and no A/C, during the summer and usally stationed a '44 MLB and '41 ULB. Normally two BMs, two MKs and two SNs were stationed there. Minor SAR. The dock used has been removed. I doubt this was an officially declared base.

I'll look for something to back this.

The Coast Guard Station Osterville was a substation of USCG Base Woods Hole, MA. Beginning in the mid 1970's, the USCG rented the boathouse located at 1 Bridge Street and owned by Edward and Jeanie Crosby. The station was operated as fully operational seasonal station during the height of the summer boating season, from May through August, to reduce response time from Woods Hole in the heavily trafficked area between Hyannis, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. During the spring and fall months it was operational during the weekends with a contingent of reservists from Base Woods Hole. The station holds a unique place in Coast Guard history, in that it was the only fully operational Coast Guard SAR Station with a complete contingent of USCG Reservists. The station was assigned a 30' UTB. During the 1980's and until its closing in 1986, FICM Medeiros was the Officer in Charge. Through the efforts of FICM Medeiros, the station was assigned a second vessel, a 44' MLB, then a 41' UTB and maintained a contingent of two vessels inclusive of the 30' UTB and either a 44'MLB or 41'UTB. The station contingent included the OIC, two Boatswains Mates as Coxswains, two Machinery Technicians, and two Seamen who maintained 24 hour Bravo-0 operational status. In addition to the fulltime contingent, the station was augmented by reservists who completed their annual two weeks of training or monthly weekend training obligations. Sorties included Law Enforcement, Aids to Navigation support, and Search and Rescue. Search and Rescue sorties ranged from the routine to immediate distress including multiple sinking vessels, boat fires, and down aircraft. In addition to its role of as a operational SAR Station, it provided support for training Reservists by Reservists; the only such facility in the Coast Guard. Due to funding the station was closed in 1985 after the completion of its last fully operational SAR season.74.75.127.241 (talk) 04:00, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip, as this is located right down the street from me, and would help to explain the gap that exists along this coast! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:41, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
