U.S.C.G.C. Algonquin

The Coast Guard Cutter Algonquin was a 165 foot ship. She carried two 3 inch fifty caliber guns and port, starboard and stern depth charges. She was a good ship with 130 sailors aboard but it took a good sailor to ride.  I thought those farm animals could buck but not like the algonquin in the North Atlantic.
