    JANUARY / 2015 ISSUE 30 REMEMBERING THE BLACKTHORN 35 Years Ago This Month When someone mentions the USCGC Blackthorn wreck, many people think you mean the great dive site off the coast of Pinellas County. Most people do not realize there was an actual accident and what the circumstances were that lead up to it , which at the time, was the worst Coast Guard maritime disaster in non-wartime history. The USCGC Blackthorn was a 180-foot buoy tender that had been brought to Tampa for repairs. January 28, 1980, a Monday night, it left the Port of Tampa in route home to Galveston, Texas. On the way out of Tampa Bay, it passed under the Skyway Bridge and began overtaking the Russian cruise ship Kazakhstan. Some say the bright lights of the cruise ship may have been a factor in the impending accident. Coming the other way was the the SS Capricorn, a large 605-foot oil tanker carrying 150,000 barrels of oil. Those who know the channel, know that there is a severe “S” shaped curve in the main section of the channel, just west of the Skyway. In the 1980s, it was even more extreme than today. Rules of navigation call for all ships to pass port-to-port (left side to left side). That means, as the USCG Blackthorn pulled out and began to pass the Russian ship, it found itself heading head-on into the SS Capricorn. At 8:21 pm, in near total darkness, they collided. Half the crew on the USCG Blackthorn were down below; some were sleeping.

One year ago, 1 March, I was running my first ever 10k race: The Sunshine Skyway 10k, to benefit military families. I was able to run with team Coast Guard as all branches of the military were represented. It was a blast, C- 130 flyover, HH-60 Jayhawk helos and the starting gun was a 105 mm Howitzer. Fast forward one year and now the race is virtual. Although the funds raised are still going to military families, the “Esprit de Corps” is missing. I am sure you, my shipmates, are finding USCGAUX participation at present to be not as uplifting as you were used to. In-person meetings, fellowship, vessel examination (VE) blitzes, partner visitors (PV)s, public affairs (PA) events, etc. have all been put on hold until we are on the other side of this pandemic. There is an end in sight. We just need to be aware, take precautions and we will get through this difficult time. Flotilla 11-10 has adapted to these trying times. Zoom meetings and public education (PE) courses. Individual VEs done with protective gear precautions in place and the enormous amount of online courses our members are taking. I am so proud of the workarounds our flotilla has taken to keep engaged and that our membership rolls remain consistent.

This story is the story of my 378’ and it will be played out a dozen times before we bid ado to this great fleet of ships.
