This is an amazing look back into 1960 and the USCGC Tupelo WAGL303. She wouldn't convert to a WLB until 1965. Footage shows her working the Great Lakes. She was homeported out of Toledo, Ohio at the time.
There is also some great footage of the USS Daniel A Joy DE585, which was a navy reserve vessel at the time and serving on the Great Lakes until being decommissioned in 1965.
Enjoy this piece of Coast Guard and Navy history.
