CG Sta. Galloo Island District #9

CG Sta. Galloo Island, part of District #9, was established to provide vital maritime safety and security operations in the eastern basin of Lake Ontario. Located on Galloo Island, New York, the station played a crucial role in aiding navigation, conducting search and rescue missions, and enforcing maritime law throughout the region. The unit’s strategic placement allowed it to respond swiftly to emergencies involving commercial and recreational vessels, especially during the busy shipping seasons. Over the years, CG Sta. Galloo Island became a key asset in supporting the Coast Guard’s mission within the Great Lakes before its eventual decommissioning.
