In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
Book of Isaiah 17:9 KJV
- USRC Thomas Corwin (Wikipedia)
The Thomas Corwin was a revenue cutter of the United States Revenue-Marine and United States Revenue Cutter Service and subsequently a merchant vessel. These two very different roles both centered on Alaska and the Bering Sea. In 1912, Frank Willard Kimball wrote: “The Corwin has probably had a more varied and interesting career than any other vessel which plies the Alaskan waters.”
