Bristol Bay


August 21, 2018

On Tuesday, August 21, 2018, Detroit Lodge No. 7 toured the Coast Guard Cutter Bristol Bay, along with the U.S. Coast Guard base in Detroit.  About 30 members and guests attended. We were welcomed to the base by LCDR Matthew Dooris of Sector Detroit and aboard the Bristol Bay by its Captain LCDR Nick Seniuk. The attendees were split into two groups with one visiting the vessels while the other one visited the Sector Detroit Command Center. Tours on the Bristol Bay and its Barge CGB-12001 were given by First Lt. Nicholas Gould, Assistant Engineer Kurt Kammers and the Captain Nick Seniuk.
