Chaining The Sea. This pattern of lightship and buoy chain, on which Coast Guardsmen are working, represents man's eternal effort to "chain the sea" for his own safety. The Coast Guard's operation and maintenance of aids to navigation continues in wartime as in peace. Shown working on the chain at the Coast Guard base, Charlestown, S. C. [Charleston, South Carolina], are Albert W. Owens, left, of Amarillo, Tex. [Texas], and George Robinson, Charleston.
