A Local Update On The Princess Grace


Joe:

That vessel Princess Grace that was once the Coast Guard Cutter MALLOW...

As she is prepared for being broken up, here is a photo of MALLOW being launched  in December, 1943 at the shipyard where she was built in Duluth, Minnesota. 
Another interesting piece of history:  MALLOW was commissioned into Coast Guard  service on June 6, 1944 -- the very day Allied troops were landing at Normandy on D-Day.
