I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NAVCG_140628_001.JPG: Welcome The US Navy Memorial welcomes you to the Year of the Coast Guard! As our nation's fifth armed service, the Coast Guard protects those on the sea, protects the nation from threats delivered by the sea, and protects the sea itself. The Coast Guard is our nation's maritime first responder. Since 1790, the Coast Guard has been standing the watch and protecting America's interests. Today, 42,000 active duty members work alongside thousands of reservists, civilians, and volunteer Auxiliarists to respond to threats and emergencies on and by the water. The Coast Guard's distinctive blend of capabilities and experience make it one of our nation's greatest maritime assets.

11. NAVCG_140628_084.JPG: Revenue Cutter Service: In the wake of American Revolution, with the Continental Navy disbanded and smuggling rampart, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton established the United States Revenue Cutter Service. The new service, officially authorized by Congress in 1790, was tasked with collecting tariffs and enforcing laws at sea, and for nearly a decade was the Under States' only armed maritime service. Throughout the 19th century, the Revenue Cutter Service assisted the Navy during times of war while continuing its law enforcement mission and assisting in some lifesaving operations. The Revenue Cutter Service established a close working relationship with the new Life-Saving Service following its permanent formation as a fully functioning agency of the Treasury Department in 1878. That close relationship culminated in their merger in 1915 to form the modern US Coast Guard. Lifesaving Service: Early in the 19th century, the only help available for shipwrecked sailors were a few volunteer crews of largely untrained lifesavers stations near large ports. After devastating wrecks left hundreds dead in the 1840s and 1850s, the federal government first established a network of lifesaving shelters along the East coast and later added part-time crews at stations along all major coastlines. These crews worked as a loose community until the Department of the Treasury formally founded the US Life-Saving Service in 1878. The Life-Saving Service eventually merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the US Coast Guard.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
