"HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: There was a good crisp chill in the air as the various Tidewater news media representatives boarded a Coast Guard 40 footer at Base Berkley enroute to the Coast Guard Cutter SOUTHWIND. Upon our approach to the great white cutter cameras began to click and wind, and the sithg [sic] of her discolored bow impressed you with the idea that she had left her mark in the last 27,000 mile journey. One of them was at Santa's very door step and if he really lives at the North Pole only the crew of the SOUTHWIND knows and they aren't telling. What she is telling is that she penetrated closer to the North Pole than 'any United States icebreaker."; photo dated December, 1970; no photo number; photographer unknown.
