Summary

Phillip Gregg and Professor Hill reactivated Gallagher Dock for the 1960 season. The same August notice says A. J. Gallagher visited home before a new assignment aboard the Coast Guard cutter Woodrush out of Duluth.

Evidence and limits

The notice does not provide dock repairs, a full identity or service record for A. J. Gallagher, or assignment dates. It is not used to identify the later Coast Guard vessel record without a held source establishing that vessel.

Open questions

  • Which dock, Coast Guard, and family records document the reopening and assignment?
