Read all about USCGC Unalga (I)'s general description, specifications and time line.

Notes:

1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated.

2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Any groups of links may refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank.

Editor’s notes:

US Coast Guard Cutter Unalga was still under the command of the US Navy in 1919, even though World War I had finished. Her crew was a mix of US Coast Guard, US Navy and US Navy Reserve Force personnel until the Coast Guard resumed control on 28 August 1919.

Additional details about the 1919 influenza epidemic, with reference to Unalga’s work at Unalaska and in Bristol Bay, can be found in A short history of the Bering Sea Patrol by Dennis L. Noble, Jesse Lee Home, Alaska and the pandemic of 1919 from Raymond L. Hudson’s book "Family After All: Alaska’s Jesse Lee Home, Vol. I, Unalaska, 1889-1925", a transcript of the memories of John Eddie Roberts, the Report on 1919 influenza epidemic by Alaska Packers Association, and most notably, Eugene Auguste Coffin’s personal diary 1919-1923. Full transcriptions of the logs with several pictures can be found in this Old Weather Forum article.
