Cape May Coast Guard Base Tour 2024

- Once a year, U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Cape May opens up to the public to allow everyone to come out and see the base. The day, which is known as the Cape May County Coast Guard Community Festival, took place on Saturday May 18th.
It was a rainy day but it didn’t stop us from exploring the base. Some of the events going on included tours of the ships, K9 demonstrations, Trolley Tours of Training Center Cape May, Helicopter demonstrations and more.
In our video we got to tour USCGC Angela McShan (2019) and the USCGC Mako, which will be decommissioned in a few months.
This was a great day that we filmed for you to enjoy!

I graduated from basic training there 37 years ago (May 5th 1987 / Y124) One of the greatest decisions of my life.
1967 for me.
@@paulhart7129 EXCELLENT! That's the year I was born! Thank you for your service👌🇺🇲
The McShan is a Sentinel class Fast Response Cutter. The Coast Guard always puts a lot of responsibility on even the newest Coast Guard member.
A USCG craft under 65 feet long is a boat, and not officially named. Over 65 feet, it's a cutter, and named.
The base is actually multiple functions. The Recruit Training Center is the largest part, and the only enlisted basic training facility in the USCG. There is also a small boat station here, which performs safety, and search and rescue functions for the cape area. The base has an interesting history, going back to WW1.
I had my boat docked, across from the CG station, for years.. They would wake me up each morning. Was happy to hear and see them!
Years ago the Unimac was docked there along with the USS Eagle which was a sailing vessel confiscated from Germany after WWII. The USS Eagle was a training vessel.
Growing up in Philly we used to go to the annual open house at the Philadelphia Naval Yard and the Frankford Arsenal. We got to walk on a old aircraft carrier flight deck and climb onto an old guess WW2 tank. The Coast guard have best in class ships. Read that some of them will not sink if they happen to roll over in high waves. Never saw any Coast Guard boats while in Viet Nam. 8 US Coast Guardsmen were killed in action in Nam & 59 wounded. Think they had over 40 vessels in Nam.
Was nothing like this in September of 1978 when I volunteered and signed on the dotted line.

We had a great day there (except for the gnats). Trolley tour of the base was well done.
Great tour. I attended Boot camp at Alameda CG Island on June 26, 1967. I retired from the CG on March 1, 2006 across from where I started. I had my retirement party on the Presidential Yacht Potomac. CG refers to their vessels as cutters, not ships. Cape May is the only recruit training center for the CG. Alameda was closed in the mid 70s to become the 11th CG District HQ. SEMPER PERATIS.
I had to get my Mom to sign for me to get into the Coast Guard in September of 1968. Almeda was where I went for recruit school also. I grew up in the Coast Guard, I was as green as grass when I started. Great memories.
Of course. Coasties are sailers also. Have you heard of them? The Navy has some.
Thanks for taking us to see the Coast Guard station and training center. My sister graduated in one of the first female classes and served in the Coast Gard Reserve for six years based out of the Philadelphia area port.
Always went by the entrance, nice to see the interesting things there.
I was station here 1976-79, Sk3-Sk1 supply office. My daughter born here in Cape may Court House.
Your daughter was born at the court house. That's crazy.
Are you jealous,😆😆😆
Joey, I love all your videos, but you need to slow down your cam movements, I get dizzy trying to follow.
Ty for sharing Joey. Have a great and safe holiday weekend.
Can u do a tour for the Port Royal Hotel?
One day I will join the Coast Guard. Applied to Officer Candidate School, hoping to be in soon
WoW this is exciting n way cool 🎉what a great opportunity 😊
wasnt there a large outdoor pool there decades ago? with very tall diving boards? I have memories of my father taking us there once. and going up to the top of the diving boards. 50 years ago likely.
I was there in 1980 and there was Olympic size pool with overly tall diving platforms and boards. But it was indoor.
Love this!!! Thnx Joey😊

Hey Joey nice job with the Wildwood video archive... I saw a news article about some unrest in Wildwood this morning that led to a state of emergency being declared and the boardwalk be closed for a few hours early this a.m. and the state of emergency was lifted by 6:00 a.m.... please cover this in your Wildwood video archive in the near future what really happened there. thanks
Hey. Thank you. And you are correct.
This is all we know still wildwoodvideoarchive.com/state-of-emergency-called-in-wildwood-new-jersey/
"Mako is a towing vessel." LOL!
The Coast Guard has 2 training Centers in the US. The other one is in Petaluma CA
True. But not for recruit training.
This is one of 2 wow
Petaluma is where various schools are located. Noboot camp there/
All branches of our military need to abolish the PKP extinguishers. If a piece of equipment catches on fire, a PKP will destroy it.
Haha, PKP is not used on electrical fires and electrical equipment. You do know those boats are full of flammable liquids. Better to save the ship instead of worrying about 1 piece of equipment!!!!!!!!
You reallly need to be a pretty small person too tour on board the ships
I am very short lol
Event like this is there really a need for a beer garden?
😂 lol
