United States Revenue-Marine revenue cutter USRC Wolcott (1873) at her home port, Port Townsend, Washington.

1889 RC Wolcott made the first-ever at sea seizure of both a smuggling vessel and drugs, and the arrest of its crew, after stopping the British sloop Emerald with 400 lbs of opium and 12 undocumented Chinese aliens at the entrance to Port Discovery Bay, WT.

USCGC Cape Cross (WPB-95321)

1977 CGC Cape George (WPB-95306) received a mayday broadcast from the motor tankship Chester A. Poling.  The 281-foot tankship was breaking in half in high seas and sinking approximately eight miles ESE of Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, with seven POB.  CGCs Cape George, Cape Cross, Firebush, Decisive, and boats from CG Station Gloucester, Point Allerton, and Merrimack River, and aircraft from Air Station Cape Cod all responded.  Cape George arrived on scene and rescued two persons stranded on the bow section.  A CG HH-3F rescued the first person from the stern of the tankship and a second crewman fell off the stern while attempting to jump into the rescue basket.  At this time the stern section rolled over, throwing the remaining three survivors into the frigid seas.  CGC Cape Cross (WPB-95321) moved in and rescued two of the crewmen while the HH-3F rescued a third.  The six survivors were taken to Gloucester Station and transferred to a local hospital.
