"The Loss of the USCGC Jackson"
September 14, 1944
by Dick Levesque

On September 14, 1944 during a massive hurricane, the CGC Jackson & Bedloe were sunk with the loss of 47 crew. Both vessels were escorting the Liberty ship George Ade which had been torpedoed by U518 and in tow by the Navy vessel ATR-6 off of Cape Hatteras, NC. The same hurricane sent the Coast Guard Lightship Vineyard Shoals to the bottom will all hands.

This is my rendition, as recalled by survivors, just moments before the Jackson foundered. This painting was also selected as the cover art of Bryan Galecki's book Rum Runners, U-Boats, & Hurricanes, which described the loss in detail.
