A Virtual Cemetery created by ShaneO

A WWII Dead and Missing Cemetery USS Natsek

Lost at sea on the night of December 17, 1942 in the Straits off Newfoundland. This virtual cemetery is dedicated to Ray Mattson of Lake Bronson, MN and his mates lost in the cold icy waters.The Coast Guard Cutter Natsek lost on December 12, 1942. The most probable cause of foundering was structural damage due to the bolts holding the superstructure working through the wood or more probably the loss of stability from ice accumulation. The Natsek was seaworthy and her commanding officer, LTJG La Farge, was an experienced seaman, well qualified to command. The official Coast Guard epitaph reads: "the entire crew of 23 men and one commissioned officer are considered to have met death in the line of duty on or after 17 December 1942, as a result of drowning."
