US Coast Guard Auxiliary's photostream

Established by Congress in 1939, the 30,000 members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary are Semper Paratus (Always Ready.)

Vessel safety checks, harbor patrols, safe boating courses, search and rescue, marine environmental protection.

These are just a few of the services provided by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Each year, Auxiliarists volunteer more than two million hours benefitting boaters and their families.

We invite you to explore our photos and learn more about who we are and what we do to be 'Semper Paratus.'
