USCG Cutter Chock Comes to Baltimore December 18, 2020

This 64x19ft (20x6m) Small Harbor Tug type cutter was built in 1961 by Gibbs Gas Engine Works in Jacksonville, Florida and owned by the United States Coast Guard. She moved to Baltimore in 2012 from Norfolk, Virginia according to this Coast Guard News item.

This 2018 blog post by the Coast Guard Mid Atlantic goes into details of her unique and valuable role here in Baltimore and on the Chesapeake Bay as well as life aboard. Check out this great video from 2014 by the US Coast Guard of her breaking ice on the C&D (Chesapeake and Delaware) Canal!

My one minute 4K video below shows her returning to Baltimore on the Patapsco River.
