Crewmen [who shall remain anonymous] from the cutter Eastwind discovered a new friend when the icebreaker participated in the first Deep Freeze expedition. According to the grandson of one, "This penguin kept hanging out with various Eastwind crew members while they were ashore. They originally painted a bow tie around his neck and buttons on his chest in grease. The penguin then wiped the bow tie away by turning his head (hence the smudge in the picture). They then painted USCG on its stomach. He apparently loved it, and held a higher place in the penguin flock because of it. The bird was a popular figure during the shore work, but was never brought aboard the Eastwind."
