498.Photograph. Northland cutter ice breaker with a Grumman J2F Duck. 'File No. 2961 German trawler trapped in Arctic ice floes found by Coast Guard in radio base search-- Caught in a death trap between grinding ice floes, this Nazi trawler was found by Coast Guardsmen during ten weeks of action that led to the capture of another brand new enemy trawler, the scuttling of a third, the capture of 60 Nazis and the destruction of two German radio-weather stations. This ship was found deserted on Greenland's east coast. Coast Guardsmen seized large piles of ammunition and food supplies, near the vessel which was four miles from an abandoned radio shanty. The Coast Guard landing party hiked more than 15 miles through tortuous, twisting ice trails to cover the four miles to the ship, which had been burned out before the enemy left it. The Coast Guard cutter Northland is in the background.' No date
