Vessel History
Arctic Scout is a former US Coast Guard Arctic survey boat (ASB) “Ice Bucket” of a U.S. Navy design adapted by the US Coast Guard and built at their Curtis Bay Yard in Maryland. ASBs are carried aboard icebreakers to provide a stable platform to conduct cold climate scientific surveys, take depth soundings ahead of the ship, assist in rescue operations, ferry personnel from ship to shore, and serve as a lifeboat.
The U.S. Coast Guard launched Arctic Scout as ASB 39020 in 1965 at Bellingham, Washington. She is constructed of a single skin fiberglass hull with a reinforced bow for minor ice-breaking and a reinforced belt around the waterline for protection against ice fields. The hull contains a collision bulkhead, watertight lazarette, and watertight deck hatches.
The propeller is protected by a skeg and keel. The keel is lead ballasted for self-righting capability. Propulsion is provided by a single Diesel engine and AC electrical power by a Diesel generator. Arctic Scout has a length of 39 feet, beam of 11 feet, 3 inches, draft of 4 feet, and displacement of 12 tons.
