Ship Name and Designation History

This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.

    Burton Island Class Icebreaker
    Keel Laid 15 March 1946 - Launched 30 April 1946

  1. USS BURTON ISLAND AG-88
    Commissioned Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) 28 December 1946

  2. USS BURTON ISLAND AGB-1
    Reclassified Icebreaker (AGB) 1 March 1949
    Transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard

  3. USCGC BURTON ISLAND WAGB-283
    Commissioned 15 December 1966 - Decommissioned 9 May 1978
    Transferred to Maritime Administration for disposal

    Sold 17 August 1980 for scrap

Naval Covers

This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

  1. USS Burton Island AGB-1 Covers Page 1    (1947-1966)
  2. USCGC Burton Island WAGB-283 Covers Page 2    (1970-1973)

 

Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
 
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.
