GALLATIN WHEC 721: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:11, 4 February 2024

Ship Name and Designation History

This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.

USCGC GALLATIN WHEC-721

NNS OKPABAM F-93 (Nigerian Naval Service)

Naval Covers

This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

USCGC Gallatin WHEC-721 Covers Page 1 (1976-1986)

Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.

>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.

NAMESAKE - GALLATIN is the sixth Coast Guard Cutter to be named after Albert Gallatin, who served as Secretary of the Treasury under the Presidents Jefferson and Madison. Gallatin was born in Switzerland in 1761 and came to America in 1780. In his long career of dedicated public service, he held office as Representative and Senator from the great state of Pennsylvania, Ambassador to France and the court of Saint James (Great Britain), and President of the National Bank.
He founded New York University and helped negotiate the treaty of Ghent to end the War of 1812. Albert Gallatin died in 1849 and is buried at Trinity Church, in New York City, where GALLATIN was home ported until 1996. {USCGC Gallatin website}
