The Great Depression was a time in America when people, who were jobless and hungry, turned to things like bootlegging, or hopping into a boxcar and riding a train off into the uncertainty of the West in the hopes to get lucky and finding a job. It was during this time that a 17-year-old New Jersey native turned to the sea for opportunity, not to catch fish, but to save lives.
It was #USCG Capt. Joseph Mazzotta who set in motion the planning and construction of Coast Guard Station Atlantic City, a building that was named after and dedicated to him in 2016.

The crew of U.S. Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, Washington, hosted a memorial service in tribute to Coast Guardsmen and mariners who lost their lives during seven separate tragic accidents in the Pacific Northwest.
"Memorials such as this are reminders of those who sailed these waters before us," said Capt. William Timmons, commander U.S. Coast Guard Sector Columbia River. "Through these memorials, we are reminded not only of their courage, but also the risk both Coast Guardsmen and mariners face while operating in the Pacific Northwest."
