S. Coast Guard yard in nearby Curtis Bay.  The “Yard”, as it is known locally, is the only such facility operated by the Coast Guard.  It is a full facility ship yard fully capable of not only servicing  Coast Guard Vessels of all sizes but also building the full range of new vessels as needed.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The original of this picture was accepted by the United States Coast Guard Art Program (COGAP) and was added to their permanent collection.</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
