Northwest
Passage
The
USCGC BRAMBLE left Miami, FL in May of 1957 headed for Seattle, WA
via the Panama Canal. On July 1, 1957 she left Seattle, WA
along with the cutters SPAR and STORIS heading for the
Atlantic traveling through the Bearing Straits and Arctic
Ocean. Traveling for 64 days through 4500 miles of partially
uncharted waters, the vessels finally reached the Atlantic
Ocean. The BRAMBLE returned to Miami, FL on December 2, 1957.
These three surface vessels were the first to circumnavigate
the North American Continent, an ambition mariners have had
for more than 400 years. |
