Coast Guards "Old and New" in Protection. In its constant vigil over life and property, the Coast Guard employs a wide variety of ships, planes and aids to navigation. Here, the newest of these devices - the helicopter - hovers over ones of the oldest - Boston Lighthouse, which has stood at the present site since 1716 as a sentinel of safety to ships moving along the New England coastline. Helicopters have proved effective in rescuing stranded survivors in isolated areas where plane landings are impossible.
