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 May 1945 - Launched 29 May 1946

  1. USS EDISTO AG-89
    Commissioned 20 March 1947

  2. USS EDISTO AGB-2
    Reclassified Icebreaker (AGB) 1 March 1949
    Decommissioned 20 October 1965

    Struck from Naval Register 20 October 1965

  3. USCGC EDISTO WAGB-284
    Commissioned 20 October 1965 - Decommissioned 15 November 1974

    Transferred to Maritime Administration for disposal
    Transferred 29 September 1977 to General Service Administration and sold

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 Edisto AG-89 Covers Page 1    (1947-49)
  2. USS Edisto AGB-2 Covers Page 2    (1949-65)
  3. USCGC Edisto WAGB-284 Covers Page 3    (1965-74)

 

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.
