Coulter -- United States Revenue Cutter Wolcott -- July 22, 2023

San Francisco Call, 29-May-1895

William A Coulter did many maritime drawings for the San Francisco Call. This one shows the revenue cutter USRC Oliver Wolcott, which was built by San Francisco's Risdon Iron Works in 1873. The Revenue Cutter Service was a predecessor of the US Coast Guard. Wolcott served mostly in the Pacific Northwest.
