Note: I’m taking a break from the Ship Report for some vacation time. I’ll be back on the air and on Facebook, with updated ship schedules and marine weather reports on Monday, July 29. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this interview series about a tragic real life incident that happened here in our maritime neighborhood.
Today is Part 6 of my interview with John Kopp, author of the book CG41332, all about a Coast Guard tragedy on the Columbia River Bar in 1977. Three student trainees lost their lives in an overturned utility boat. Today we’ll learn about the extensive changes to Coast Guard protocol that occurred as a result of this tragic accident.
