EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE Homeport Pier Homeport Pier Evaluation Pier 7, State of Connecticut, Fort Trumbull New London, Connecticut The purpose of this assignment was to perform a Routine Waterfront Facility Inspection, a structural load rating, and berthing analysis in support of a gap analysis of Pier 7 to meet the Basic Facility Requirements (BFR) for the CGC EAGLE. A structural inspection of Pier 7 at the State of Connecticut owned Fort Trumbull was conducted on June 20 and 21, 2017, by a four person, engineer diver team from Childs Engineering Corporation. Fort Trumbull is located in New London, Connecticut at 90 Walbach Street. The following narrative serves to briefly summarize the recommended improvements required to meet the BFR in four key areas, Structural, Berthing, Mechanical Utilities, and Electrical Utilities. Due to the berth having suitable depths closer inshore two options were looked at. An outshore option with the CGC EAGLE berthed in the historic location and the pier completely repaired, and an inshore option with the CGC EAGLE berth further inshore and with only the necessary piles being repaired. For the Structural repairs it was recommended that the piles would have concrete structural jackets to provide a longer term repair that anodes. The jackets would either be from the base of the existing jacket to below the mudline or for existing jackets that are in poor condition a new jacket would be placed the entire length. In addition all the spalls would be repaired on the pile caps and deck and the deck would be sealed. For the berthing repairs and upgrades it was recommended that two sections of timber fender piles would be added and three sea cushions to allow the load to spread out both on the fender system and across the mooring hardware. The bollards would also be cleaned and recoated and the foundations repaired, as needed. For the mechanical utility upgrades it was recommended that new heat traced water and sewer lines would be needed as none currently exist on the pier. In addition a wastewater treatment system would be added to the existing unheated sewer line so that it could be used for the bilge water. The fire protection would come from either stand pipes or additional connections on the potable water pipe for hydrants. i Most of the electrical and telecommunication utilities appear to be at the pier however it was recommended that a one cable and one LAN line would be run out to the site and that this would be contained inside a new conduit run out to the site. For the inshore option a new utility mound was also need to be installed. The summary of cost for the upgrades and repairs for the outshore options can be found in Table 1 below and in Table 2 for the inshore option.

This evaluation included routine inspection of the above water and underwater components of the waterfront facilities of Pier 7, a structural load rating, and berthing analysis in support of a gap analysis of the pier to meet Basic Facility Requirements (BFR) for the CGC EAGLE. Pier 7 is located at the State of Connecticut owned Fort Trumbull, in New London, Connecticut. The inspection was intended to assess the general overall condition of each structure, assign a condition assessment rating, and to assign recommended actions and costs to meet the BFR. Additional analysis objectives included the quantitative evaluation of local loss of structural capacity of typical components as a result of damage or deterioration, permissible load limits analysis by quantitative evaluation of the global structural integrity relative to actual loads of each structure, estimating the remaining useful life of each structure, and to develop an order of magnitude estimate of probable costs for rehabilitation work. Photographs were taken to document the typical conditions of the facilities and areas of damage or deterioration. A summary of findings from the inspection can be found in the Assessment Report located in Appendix A. Childs Engineering Corporation worked as a consultant for the USCG Civil Engineering Unit, Providence, in the evaluation of this facility. The points of contact for this project were Lieutenant Kieron McCarthy (401-736-1789), Design Project Manager for the U.S. Coast Guard, and Mr. David Cass (401-736-1734), Senior Design Manager for the U.S. Coast Guard. 1 1.2 General Description of the Facility Pier 7 is owned by the State of Connecticut and is

  • The Ghost Ship on the Delaware
    The Ghost Ship on the Delaware By Steven Ujifusa For PlanPhilly Thousands pass by the Ghost Ship on the Delaware River every day. They speed past it on Columbus Boulevard, I-95, and the Walt Whitman Bridge. They glance at it while shopping at IKEA. For some, it is just another eyesore on Philadelphia’s desolate waterfront, no different from the moldering old cruisers and troop transports moored in the South Philadelphia Navy Yard. The Ghost Ship on the Delaware. www.ssunitedstatesconservancy.org Some may pull over to the side of the road and take a closer look through a barbed wire fence. They then realize that the Ghost Ship is of a different pedigree than an old troop transport. Its two finned funnels, painted in faded red, white and blue, are dramatically raked back. Its superstructure is low and streamlined, lacking the balconies and large picture windows that make today’s cruise ships look like floating condominiums. Its hull is yacht-like, defined by a thrusting prow and gracefully rounded stern. Looking across the river to Camden, one might see that the hull of the Ghost Ship bears more than a passing resemblance to the low-slung, sweeping one of the battleship U.S.S. New Jersey. This ship is imposing without being ponderous, sleek but still dignified. Even though her engines fell silent almost forty years ago, she still appears to be thrusting ahead at forty knots into the gray seas of the North Atlantic. Finally, if one takes the time to look at the bow of the Ghost Ship, it is clear that she has no ordinary name.

On Friday, July 22, 2016, the only active commissioned sailing vessel “USCG Cutter Eagle” is scheduled to arrive at approximately 11:00am in Downtown Norfolk, docking at Otter Berth next to the future Waterside District. The ship will depart at approximately 10:00am on Monday, July 25, 2016. Arrival and departure times are approximate and are subject to change due inclement weather. Built in Germany in 1936 and taken as reparation by the United States at the close of World War II, the Eagle is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes. The majestic sailing ship, the Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE provides the U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadets and officer candidates with their first taste of sea and salt air. The Eagle's homeport of New London, Conn., on the Thames River neighbors the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. The Eagle's location and design supports its primary mission of training cadets and officer candidates, offering a strong foundation of seamanship and knowledge to up to 150 cadets or officer candidates at a time. Aboard America’s Tall Ship, trainees are exposed to the real world workings of America’s only active duty square-rigger, as they fulfill duties normally executed by junior officers or junior enlisted persons.

  • Interviewee: Marvin J. Perrett, USCGR World War II U
    U.S. Coast Guard Oral History Program Interviewee: Marvin J. Perrett, USCGR World War II U. S. Coast Guard Veteran Interviewer: Scott Price, Deputy Historian Date of Interview: 18 June 2003 Place: U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Marvin Perrett joined the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II and served aboard the Coast Guard-manned attack transport USS Bayfield (APA-33) as a coxswain of one of the Bayfield's landing craft. He was a veteran of the invasions of Normandy, Southern France, Iwo Jima and Okinawa and he even survived the "Exercise Tiger" debacle prior to the Normandy invasion. Although each of these events has received extensive coverage, his story, and the story of the thousands of young men who manned the boats that landed troops on enemy beaches, is little- known. It seems that the men who transported the troops to the beach were often been overlooked by historians, writers, and film producers. Yet, as Mr. Perret points out, without them, how would any invasion have happened? 1 Mr. Perrett's oral history is comprehensive. He describes his decision to join the Coast Guard and he then delves into the extensive training he received and how he was picked to be the sailor in charge of a landing craft. He also describes, in detail, this craft he sailed through enemy fire during the invasions he took part in. The boat he commanded was the ubiquitous LCVP, or "Landing Craft, Vehicle / Personnel. It was made primarily of wood by the famous company Higgins Industries in New Orleans.
