The Coast Guard Cutter STORIS was a famed United States Coast Guard Cutter which served for over 64 years. 17 of those years were as the oldest commissioned Coast Guard Cutter, the ‘Queen of the Fleet’. Join me as I discuss the beginnings of such a famed piece of Coast Guard, and United States history that will take you from the shores of Ohio, land missions in Greenland, the top of the world in the Arctic, making history along the way and through and to the tropics. With such a massive story I will have to break it up into a three part series. Join me for part one; A Coast Guard Queen, born in War.
