Vessel History:
The Caddo was a former whaler and was suited to duty in northern areas. The builders strengthened the hull with extra scantlings to work in ice. The Government paid $35,000 to charter this vessel.
During World War II, the Coast Guard assigned Caddo to the 13th District and stationed her at Ketchikan, Alaska.
