USFS Blue Wing

USFS Blue Wing was an American fishery patrol vessel that operated in the waters of the Territory of Alaska.

[1] On 29 July 1924, Blue Wing departed Seattle, Washington, to head north to the Territory of Alaska to begin her first season of fishery patrol work.

[1] In June 1936, her service in the Kodiak Archipelago came to an end and her summer patrol responsibilities shifted to Prince William Sound in Southcentral Alaska.

In 1941, Blue Wing suffered engine damage during a severe gale off British Columbia, Canada, and narrowly avoided running ground.

[1] After several days, Canadian police found her at anchor on the British Columbia coast while her crew attempted to repair her engine.
