Coast Guard’s Most Famous Mascot - Sinbad
Sinbad, the Coast Guard’s most famous mascot. He was adopted by a crewman from the cutter Campbell prior to World War II. He was so beloved by the crew that they actually enlisted him in the Coast Guard. Sinbad served faithfully through thick and thin, surviving combat with the Germans and Japanese, causing a few international incidents with his antics, and even having a book written about him! Here he is at his battle station on board the Campbell, ready to take aim at a German U-boat!
Here is CBuoy, the mascot of Coast Guard Station Destin, Florida. They let us know that:
“Our station mascot is a AKC registered yellow lab named CBUOY but everyone calls him buoy. He was donated to the station as a puppy in June of 2002. He’s a pretty famous lab puppies for sale in the local community, he’s been in the paper several times. He had a torn ACL when he was a year old and the community started donating money and toys to him. At the current time he has his own morale checking account which is all donated funds from the community. We regularly conduct tours of the station for different children’s groups and one of the things they love to see most is buoy jumping in the water to rescue Oscar. Buoy stays up with communication watch stander and provides security by making rounds of the station hourly.”
