EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the U.S.R.C. McCollough, also known as the U.S. Revenue Cutter McCollough, anchored at a pier in Alaska between 1900 and 1915. The image captures the essence of the meeting of frontiers as the rugged coastline of North America, dotted with snow-capped mountains, serves as the backdrop to the sturdy vessel. The U.S.R.C. McCollough was a crucial part of the United States Coast Guard's fleet during this era, responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the vast Alaskan waters. The photograph showcases the exterior of the boat, with its distinctive cutter rig, which allowed it to sail efficiently in various weather conditions. The pier, with its simple yet functional design, adds to the rustic charm of the scene. The sailboats in the foreground, dwarfed by the size of the McCollough, provide a sense of scale and underscore the importance of water transport in this remote region. The U.S.R.C. McCollough's visit to Alaska during the early 20th century was a testament to the country's commitment to exploring and securing its territories. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past and the challenges faced by those who braved the harsh Alaskan waters. The Library of Congress, a national treasure, houses this image as part of its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
