The quartermaster of the watch-the officer in charge of watch-to-watch navigation and related duties-plots the Coast Guard Cutter ALEX HALEY'S position in the Bering Sea. Red lights preserve night vision, allowing the watch standers to better analyze operational tasks, weather and vessel traffic. The Coast Guard's continuous presence in the Bering Sea provides search and rescue coverage for Alaska's commercial fishing fleets and helps deter illegal fishing. It also enforces US sovereignty in the strategically critical region. US Coast Guard Art Program 2023 Collection, Ob Id # 202330, Night watch, Ken Sauerburn, acrylic, 18x24 inches.
