JUNEAU, Alaska — The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell is inviting the public to tour the cutter during their open house Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Coast Guard Station Juneau pier.
The Fourth of July tour of the Boutwell is free to the public. An adult must accompany all children, and no pets are allowed aboard the cutter.
Coast Guard crewmembers will be standing by to answer questions about the cutter and their recent operations in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.
Commissioned in 1968, Boutwell is one of the eight remaining 378-foot Hamilton class high endurance cutters. It is homeported in San Diego, with a crew of approximately 160.
