Abstract:
The United States Coast Guard, created by Congress in 1790, is cited as America's oldest maritime service. North Carolina’s Coast Guard, employed in nine stations anchored along the Crystal Coast, has provided service on a national level, in missions such as rescuing 14 of 16 HMS Bounty crew members during Hurricane Sandy. On a state level, services are illustrated in enforcing federal laws, patrolling waterways, and assuring watercraft are operated safely.
