Eastwind - Dew Line 1956. Nature eases the monotony of "water, water (and ice) everywhere" for the men journeying with the Coast Guard icebreaker Eastwind into the white forests of the Arctic by showing off her gallery of fairyland sculpture work. Here she chiseled a cast of Paul Bunyan's foot. The Eastwind was photographed passing this iceberg in the East Arctic during the 1956 annual summer resupply missions to stations and bases in Greenland, eastern Canada, Baffin Island, and at the top of Alaska, carried out by the Navy for the United States (with the cooperation of military forces of Greenland and Canada). The Eastwind acted as flagship and escort for supply vessels of the Navy's Military Sea Transportation Service carrying provisions for completion of the new far Northeastern Dew Line (Distant Early Warning) radar stations during this resupply mission.
