Coast Guard Rescue
Crescent City Harbor, Crescent City
In the Pacific Northwest, the ocean is a lifelong companion but often foul weather and strong currents can change it instantly into a deadly adversary. For this reason, it is nice to occasionally stop and give a bit of recognition to the guardians of our local seacoast for their eternal vigilance. The United States Coast Guard is one of seven uniformed branches of the United States military, founded in 1915 but with roots stretching back into the 1700s.
The Coast Guard Rescue Mural is mounted on the restroom and fish cleaning station in the Crescent City Harbor's small boat launch. The mural represents our local 25 foot rescue boat operated by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. This mural was built in collaboration with Elk Valley Artisans and Del Norte County Social Services. The artist in charge of the project was Harley Munger. The student Leader on this mural was Tara Silveressa. The mural was funded through a grant from the Humboldt Area Foundation and was constructed by kids from a program of Del Norte County Social Services.
The
mural stands 7 feet by 8 feet.
