Introductory Notes General Media Direction

The overall feeling and approach to media development for the National Coast Guard Museum (NCGM) project should convey the dynamism and excitement of the history and future of the Coast Guard organization. The quality and professionalism of all media should reflect the museum’s stature as a national resource, comparable to other national military museums such as the National Museum of the United States Army and the National Museum of the Marine Corps.

The greatest extent possible, media developers should use authentic Coast Guard voices and visuals. The Coast Guard has a rich inventory of video and oral histories dating back to WWII and beyond. When media of events or oral histories are not available, look to achieve authenticity through direct quotation of participants and use of primary sources.

Notes on Hardware

Hardware specifications and related power consumption estimates provided are intended as typicals only and are not meant to represent final hardware selection or direction.

Available AV hardware models, model numbers and specifications change frequently over time and these changes are often accompanied by lower costs and improved performance as technology advances. Final hardware selection should happen as close as possible to purchase, during the development of construction documentation, to ensure the procurement of the best equipment available at the time.

Deck 1 - Arrival Media Title: ORIENTATION FILM Media Number: AV.01.03.01.01 Area: 01.03 Theater

Media Purpose:

• To provide an exciting overview of today’s Coast Guard

• To highlight the diverse people, roles and missions of the Coast Guard

• To link the Coast Guard’s contemporary missions to its predecessor agencies and long tradition of service

• To highlight the unifying values and creed of the Coast Guard

• To pique the interest of our multiple audiences and encourage them to explore the stories told in the Museum upstairs

• Make the following points at about the Coast Guard o The oldest continuous Maritime Service o Founded in 1790 with USRM o Lifesavers o An integral part of law enforcement, national defense and security in both peace and in war o Facilitates billions of dollars of commerce per year o An integral part of environmental protection o A multi-mission force that works with other military branches and federal services o Operates on a global scale

Visitor Experience:

As the lights come down, the film opens on a dramatic scene: a family is stranded on a foundering sailboat. They call for help over a crackling VHF radio, “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!” After a few tense moments, a reply breaks through the static, “Vessel in distress, this is the United States Coast Guard, we’re on our way.” Relieved faces indicate they know help will soon be on its way.

This is probably the most familiar role of the Coast Guard for many visitors, but is only one of the many ways in which the Coast Guard serves and protects the US public. A mixture of voice-over narration and first-person accounts paints the picture of the Coast Guard as a multi-faceted, mission-ready service with national and global impact that protects citizens and natural resources; facilitates, safeguards, and advances maritime commerce; and defends national interests in peacetime and in war. Tying together the diverse stories, SEARCH | Eisterhold Associates Inc. September 30, 2021 7 people and missions of the Coast Guard are its motto, “Always Ready”, its creed, and its core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty.

The values of honor, respect and devotion to duty provide the framework for the body of the film. It tells the story of the chronological development of the Coast Guard from the legacy services through today, highlighting the central role that training plays, and uses dramatic storytelling and first-person accounts to illustrate the major functional roles following the organization of the exhibit wings.

The three value sections are each broken into two subsections. Each subsection begins with an introduction to that core value using a consistent design element, for example a Coast Guard Company Commander, as it relates to a Coast Guard functional role. Then it shows modern footage of training related to the role. This is followed by a story from Coast Guard history showing the value in action for this role.

Core Value: Honor Role: Defenders Modern Training Story Historical Period: First Founding Role: Enforcers Modern Training Story Historical Period: Legacy Service

Core Value: Respect Role: Champions of Commerce Modern Training Story Historical Period: Second Founding Role: Protectors of the Environment Modern Training and Operations Story Historical Period: Third Founding

Core Value: Devotion to Duty Role: Life Saving by boat Modern Training and Operations Story Historical Period: Early Modern Role: Life Saving by air Modern Training and Operations Story Historical Period: Modern/Current

The film concludes with fast paced splices of dramatic clips showing the modern Coast Guard in dynamic action as defenders, enforcers, lifesavers, champions, and protectors. The

Deck 2 - Safety Media Title: DIGITAL TIMELINE Media Number: AV.02.01.01.01 Area: 02.01 Meet the Coast Guard Exhibit: 02.01.01 Coast Guard Overview

Media Purpose:

• To provide visitors with a view of Coast Guard and world historical events arranged chronologically and the ability to learn more about events in the history of the Coast Guard.

The visitor encounters a line of distinctive curved monitors that follow the curvature of the walls in the Meet the Coast Guard area. These monitors display a continuous timeline stretching back to the establishment of the first lighthouse in America in 1716 and forward to the current day. The timeline features world events above the line and Coast Guard events below. By touching a Coast Guard event, the visitor opens a pop-up window with additional information about that event, including text and images. Select foundational events are highlighted. Images of artifacts from the museum are indicated with a special symbol, alerting the visitor that they can find that artifact on the museum floor.

Media Title: WHERE IN THE WORLD DIGITAL GLOBE Media Number: AV.02.01.02.02 Area: 02.01 Meet the Coast Guard Exhibit: 02.01.02 Where in the World

Media Purpose:

• To illustrate the extent of the Coast Guard presence around the world at certain key moments in history.

• To tell the story of the evolution over time of the locations of specific classes of

Coast Guard facilities, namely lighthouses, Coast Guard stations, small boat/air stations, LORAN stations and ocean stations.

Upon entering the Meet the Coast Guard area, visitors are drawn to the large spherical display in the center of the room. It shows the globe of the earth, slowly rotating.

Superimposed on the globe are the locations of Coast Guard facilities and activities. As the visitor watches, the display slowly steps through five key points in Coast Guard global expansion, from its early founding days through modern times. We see the growth of the Coast Guard’s extent from a handful of cutters and a few lighthouses in the northeast, through the establishment of LORAN stations in World War II and to its current reach around the world.

The five key points in the Coast Guard’s global expansion are:

• 1793: first cutters were launched 1791-1793; along with colonial lighthouses brought under Federal control

• 1915: USCG created; LSS & RCS stations/bases around the country & Great Lakes to include a LSS station in Alaska; Bering Sea Patrol well established; International Ice Patrol underway; light stations in Philippine Islands, Panama (Panama Canal), Puerto Rico, Alaska & Hawaii

• 1940: Right before we entered WW2 but still engaged with Great Britain as an ally;

CG aviation well established; cutters patrolling Greenland waters; USLHS incorporated; IIP & neutrality patrols along with the beginnings of Ocean Station patrols; (Alternatively, could use 1945 and how CG spread over the globe with MIOs, beginnings of world-wide LORAN enterprise)

• 1967: CG moved to DOT; LORAN in full force throughout the world; MIOs throughout the world; ocean stations in Atlantic & Pacific; cutters serving in Vietnamese waters; aviation detachments & aviation support for LORAN stations world-wide; icebreakers serving in Arctic & Antarctica

• Current: Move to DHS; LORAN gone; MIOs virtually gone; ocean stations gone;

LEDETs on board USN and other warships; cutters supporting Operations Noble Eagle & OIF; polar ops continue and combine with national security mission.

SEARCH | Eisterhold Associates Inc. September 30, 2021 12

As each new time period is displayed, contextualizing information and imagery explaining the changes are shown on three flat-screen monitors mounted on a rail around the globe.

Also on these screens is a legend that allows the visitor to identify the different types of Coast Guard facilities represented by the icons on the globe. When a visitor touches a legend icon on a rail-mounted touch screen, a pop-up window on that visitor’s screen then tells the story of the growth of that particular type of Coast Guard presence over its entire history. After the user closes the pop-up window, the screen goes back to the display of period- specific information synchronized with the globe display. The globe display runs independently and is not controlled by or altered by the operation of the rail-mounted screens.

The different types of Coast Guard facilities are:

• Sectors

• Lighthouses

• Ocean Stations

• LORAN Stations

• Air/Small Boat Stations

• To enliven and activate the story of the Pea Island tableau.

As the visitor arrives in this area, they see a wall mural depicting the coastline of the Outer Banks at Pea Island. A blue sky above dunes and beachgrass is animated with a projection of fair-weather clouds and sea birds. The scene continues from the wall mural seamlessly

SEARCH | Eisterhold Associates Inc. September 30, 2021 15 to a projection on a scrim, featuring the Pea Island Life-Saving Station. The scrim serves as the main projection surface for the media.

After a moment, the show begins and the visitor is introduced to the “Graveyard of the Atlantic”, off the North Carolina coast. A series of poorly executed rescues, including the USS Huron and the Metropolis, indicated a need to appoint new competent surfmen to run the lifesaving stations. It was in this climate that Captain Richard Etheridge became the first African American to command a Life-Saving station, and thus the first to command a U.S.

federal base of operations, when the Service appointed him as the keeper of the Pea Island Life-Saving Station in North Carolina on 24, January 1880. The Revenue Cutter Service officer who recommended his appointment, First Lieutenant Charles F. Shoemaker, noted that Etheridge was "one of the best surfmen on this part of the coast of North Carolina," and Shoemaker was, “fully convinced that the interests of the Life-Saving Service here, in point of efficiency, will be greatly advanced by the appointment of this man to the Keepership of Station No. 17.”

Etheridge and his men are known for many heroic rescues, but now we focus on the rescue of the E.S. Newman on October 11, 1896. As the story of the rescue unfolds, the lights begin to dim and the puffy cumulus clouds projected on to the mural are replaced by a menacing storm front. The video describes the fearsome storm, the desperate situation of the crew and passengers, and finally the dim light of their flare sent up into the turbulent sky, which we see faintly behind the scrim. In response, we see the lifesaver’s flare of acknowledgement, and soon Etheridge and his crew are struggling with their beach cart across the hurricane-lashed sand.

When they finally reach the Newman, there is no solid ground to set the Lyle gun upon, and so no way to a launch line. Instead, Theodore Meekins and Stanley Wise affect a dangerous swim to carry a line out. The lighting dims further and we can hear the crash of the surf and the exertion of the men as they make their way through waves and debris out to the wreck.

Then shouts of relief and joy as they make it to the Newman. Lighting comes up revealing the tableau scene behind the scrim: the cast figures of the two men emerging from the surf back to shore with the first rescued passenger, the captain’s 3-year-old son Thomas. The story of the successful rescue of all souls aboard the Newman completes and the presentation ends with a discussion of the legacy of Richard Etheridge and the Pea Island Lifesavers.

• To demonstrate a key element of early life saving: getting a line to a stranded ship.

• An opportunity to introduce STEM concepts of ballistics, trajectory and chemistry in the context of early life saving

Visitor Experience:

The visitor encounters a diorama model scene showing a ship which has run aground at one end and a Lyle gun on the beach at the other end. The background of beach, ocean and stormy sky behind the scene is displayed on the lower half of a large LCD monitor. The upper half shows an aerial view, looking down on the scene, to aid in aiming. The visitor uses buttons to select a small, medium, or large charge. The larger the charge, the further the projectile will go. The visitor uses a joystick to adjust the aim of the Lyle gun both left/right and up/down, with servomotors controlling the model gun in response to the user’s adjustments. The aiming is complicated by variable winds, which are indicated numerically or by a Lifesaving Service pennant shown on the background monitor. When the visitor is satisfied with their aim and charge, they press a ‘fire’ button. The video screen behind the scene shows the simulated path of the projectile pulling the line to the ship. Based on the aim, the shot either successfully reaches the ship or it misses its mark, and the visitor is provided appropriate feedback.

A rail contains information on how to operate the interactive and notes and potentially an image (see reference below) clarifying the actual scale of the Lyle gun relative to the ship.

• To promote an appreciation of how the Coast Guard evaluates and balances risk and gain when making decisions throughout search and rescue operations.

Visitor Experience:

As the visitor approaches a large interactive touchscreen in this section of At the Station, they see onscreen an image of a VHF radio and handset. Crackling static is heard and a faint muffled voice, too indistinct to understand. Is it a distress call? The visitor is invited to touch the screen to find out. As the interaction unfolds, the visitor follows a simulated SAR operation, starting with the VHF channel 16 call, and they see how that call triggers a sequence of events that ties together all the elements of Coast Guard search and rescue that they have already been introduced to. Training, equipment, communications, weather forecasting and risk management all come together, culminating in a successful rescue and

SEARCH | Eisterhold Associates Inc. September 30, 2021 21 return. Along the way, the visitor gets to weigh in on the risk and gain deliberations that factor into the Coast Guard decision making process.

The call comes in from a recreational fishing boat that can’t get its engine started and is beginning to drift with the currents. It is a routine pan-pan call on a beautiful day, with low chance for loss of life. The situation changes at two points along the way. Each time, new circumstances and information become available and the visitor is asked to update their perception of risk and gain. After a brief pause to allow for users to respond, the presentation resumes with the Coast Guard’s risk assessment and rationale.

Initial Call/Decision Point #1 – Calm seas, crew and boat available. A pan-pan call with low imminent danger to life but potential loss of property.

Low risk, medium gain = go!

Unexpected Storm/Decision Point #2 – An unexpected storm develops. The boat deployed is small and the coxswain is not qualified for heavy weather. The sudden change in weather means there isn’t time adequate time for planning. Crew of stranded boat concerned but not in immediate peril.

Risk high, gain medium. - Look for options to mitigate risk and coordinate with COC. A decision is made to wait for the front to blow through.

Injury/Decision Point #3 – The storm passes but leaves choppy seas and high winds in its wake. During the storm one of the passengers on the disabled boat is injured in a fall and is now unconscious and bleeding from a head wound.

Risk is medium, gain is high. - Another, larger boat with a crew qualified for heavy weather is available at another station. This asset is called in and preparations are made to call in a helicopter if necessary for support.

The short video concludes with the rescue successfully completed via boat and a brief post mission analysis.

A video wall behind the Katrina punt boat is the display surface for a multimedia show telling the story of the Coast Guard’s significant role in the planning, response, and recovery efforts in areas of search and rescue, marine pollution response, and the management of maritime commerce. The video prominently features footage of heroic Coast Guard rescues both via boat and by air. First person voice-over accounts from rescuers and survivors lend authenticity and a personal touch. Throughout the video, a text overlay provides date and time information along with storm and rescue statistics.

Storyboard notes:

The Coming Storm: The video opens with the coming storm and its turn toward New Orleans.

Preparations: The Coast Guard already had in place up-to-date and regularly exercised hurricane plans. For Katrina, it pre-positioned assets for a “surge operation,” a high-intensity response effort launched with maximum available resources and personnel.

Image: Coast Guard rescue helicopters line the tarmac at Air Station New Orleans in Belle Chasse, La.

Landfall: After briefly weakening over southern Florida, Katrina emerged into the Gulf of Mexico and rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane. On August 29, at Category 3 strength with sustained winds of 125 miles per hour, Katrina made its second landfall over southeast Louisiana and Mississippi.

Impacts: Katrina's storm surge caused 53 breaches to various flood protection structures in and around the greater New Orleans area, submerging 85% of the city. Federal disaster declarations covered 90,000 square miles of the United States, an area almost as large as the United Kingdom. The hurricane left an estimated three million people without electricity.

Ready to Respond: The Coast Guard's ongoing authority under federal law to conduct maritime operations, such as search and rescue and port security, uniquely positioned them to respond immediately and decisively to Hurricane Katrina.

Seven Coast Guard helicopters launched in tropical storm winds to fly to New Orleans to begin the massive rescue operation.

Even non-SAR assets such as the buoy tender Pamlico contributed to the rescue operations, helping to organize evacuation from inundated areas. It was soon joined by the Coast Guard Cutter Spencer which chased the storm as it swept north.

Within the first nine hours after Katrina came ashore, Coast Guard helicopter crews had already rescued 137 people. The video features a series of dramatic air- and boat- based rescues demonstrating the heroism, initiative and ingenuity of Coast Guard personnel.

Improvising proved to be the key to success. When the rescue swimmers determined that many residents were trapped in their attics and were unable to reach their roofs, the swimmers began chopping through the roofs with axes.

SEARCH | Eisterhold Associates Inc. September 30, 2021 24

Of the estimated 60,000 people that needed to be rescued from rooftops and flooded homes, the Coast Guard saved more than 33,500, including rescuing from peril 24,135 people and evacuating 9,409 medical patients to safety. The rescue and the response efforts were some of the largest in Coast Guard history, involving units from every district.

Over 5,600 Coast Guardsmen participated in the Coast Guard's response efforts.

But search and rescue operations were only the beginning. A week after the storm, when rescue operations began to wane, the Coast Guard’s focus began to shift towards the myriad of problems posed by the destruction of the storm.

One of these problems was the restoration of thousands of aids to navigation that once safely marked the waterways throughout the region. Coast Guard Cutters Pamlico, Clamp, Greenbrier and two 55-foot aids to navigation boats began this waterway recovery operation on Sept. 5, 2005, just one week after Katrina made landfall. All told the Coast Guard repaired and replaced 1,400 damaged or missing aids to navigation along hundreds of miles of coastline and coordinated the salvage of over 2,500 wrecked vessels.

Recovery and environmental response. The storm caused the release of eight million gallons of environmental contaminants into the Gulf, only three million gallons less than the massive Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. Coast Guard personnel responded to over 4,000 pollution cases, including seven major pollution incidents, and helped reopen all of the nearly 60 refineries in the affected area.

• To help visitors understand that the Coast Guard achieves its missions through teams of people working to a common goal. It takes a team to save a life.

• To showcase the diversity of the Coast Guard in terms of rank, rating, age, gender and ethnicity.

Visitor Experience:

A series of individual Coast Guard members, displayed full-figure and life-sized on a pair of vertically stacked 43” monitors in portrait orientation, beckon visitors to approach an exhibit boldly titled “We Are Lifesavers”. The visitor’s presence triggers a linear media piece. The video starts with a simple statement, “It takes a team to save a life.” What follows is a montage of brief clips of about 10 Coast Guard members introducing themselves and describing in a single sentence or two what they do that supports the Coast Guard’s lifesaving function.

This is not a proposed script, but conceptually, the piece could go something like this.

ET3 Brown “At my comms station, I monitor for calls on CH 16 and communications from the command center.”

OS1 Miller “I stand watch and when a call comes in, I help organize the response.”

Capt Ramos “We can be diverted at a moment’s notice to lend assistance.”

BM1 Kim “I set course and we were on our way.”

MK2 Jones “I keep these engines running so we are always ready to respond in situations like this.”

SK2 Lee “And I buy the fuel that goes into those engines.”

AMTC Thompson “My ground crew keeps the helicopters ready to go.”

Lt Walker “And I make that helo go!”

AST1 Johnson “I might be the one who pulls you out of the water, but there’s a whole bunch people who make this all happen.”

At the end of the presentation, we hear all of the team members speak in unison, “We are lifesavers. We are the United States Coast Guard.”

The visitor is surprised to learn that it isn’t just the rescue swimmer or helicopter pilot that saves the life, but a vast network of operations, engineering, command, supply, maintenance, contracting and more that all need to work in concert. They gain an appreciation for everyone’s contribution.

In each of the other museum wings, visitors encounter a similar exhibit focused on the Coast Guard role associated with that wing. The primary message is that it takes a team to accomplish the mission. Team members display diversity in rank, rating, age, gender and ethnicity.

Deck 3 - Security Media Title: RUM RUNNERS VS COAST GUARD Media Number: AV.03.01.03.01 Area: 03.01 Enforcers on the Seas Exhibit: 03.01.03 Rum War

• To show how the Coast Guard played cat-and-mouse with the rum runners as they enforced the Volstead Act during the Prohibition Era.

• To show how the newly created Coast Guard rose to the challenge of Prohibition enforcement, and how that challenge help grow and shape it.

• To highlight the ground breaking contributions of Elizebeth Smith Friedman in cryptanalysis that resulted in disrupting rum running and convicting ring leaders.

Visitor Experience:

Projected on crates of confiscated liquor, the visitor views a linear video telling the story of the Rum War between the rum runners and the Coast Guard during Prohibition. The story begins with passage of the Volstead Act, giving enforcement authority to the Treasury Dept and its new Prohibition Bureau, with a small fleet of intercepting boats. They are quickly overwhelmed, and Treasury turns to the agency responsible for protecting revenues and preventing smuggling at sea: the Coast Guard.

What followed over the next few years was an unprecedented expansion of the Coast Guard: The service grew from 4,000 to 10,000 personnel, and a fleet of new cutters, specially designed to intercept and catch rum runners, was rolled out over the next few years, to be aided in their efforts by 25 refurbished Navy destroyers that had been mothballed after the war.

Rum-runner tactics became increasingly sophisticated, fueled by immense profits and a growing presence of organized crime syndicates. The Coast Guard responded with their own determination and ingenuity, adding faster small boats and using smugglers confiscated speed boats against them.

Syndicates also began to perfect the use of radio communications. Encoded messages communicating a day’s sales, requests for provisions, the vessel’s location, and other information were sent to management on land. On shore, new technologies allowed hidden pop-up stations to communicate using high frequencies that often went undetected. The

Coast Guard launched its own sophisticated radio communications system including a new generation of radio direction-finding equipment that helped cutter crews locate rum ships.

But intercepting illegal transmissions was of little use unless they could be read. By 1927, hundreds of unread encrypted intercepts had accumulated, but thanks to the addition of the expert cryptanalyst Elizebeth Smith Friedman, the Coast Guard began to make headway.

Within two months of her hiring, the division’s new Cryptanalytic Unit, consisting of Friedman and an assistant, had cleared the backlog of messages. By the early 1930s, a bigger Cryptanalytic Unit, run by Friedman, was supporting a new radio intelligence service at Coast Guard Headquarters.

The messages that she deciphered and decoded enabled her to implicate several smugglers operating in the Gulf of Mexico and on the Pacific Coast. She subsequently testified in cases in Galveston and Houston, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana. During cross-examination in a case in New Orleans in 1933, she famously asked the judge to have a blackboard brought in.

She proceeded to deliver a class in solving substitution cyphers, clearly showing the jury the soundness and certainty of the technique.

[During this segment of the video, the process of solving a substitution cipher used in the courtroom, as described by Friedman in her memoirs, is projected on the blackboard.

Cipher text (applied to blackboard): LTQ LS LIR BLILKAI FK MFKQP Plain text (projected): OUT OF OLD COLONEL IN PINTS

Plain text alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Cipher text alphabet: ZEBRASCDFGHIJKLMNOPQTUVWXY

Copy on the rail in front of the blackboard explains how a simple substitution cipher works, with a mapping between a plain text alphabet and cipher alphabet. It briefly discusses how a cryptanalyst determines the cipher alphabet (e.g. frequency distribution of characters and probable content), and the presents the cipher text alphabet used to encode the message on the blackboard (shown below). Armed with the cipher text alphabet they can decrypt the message on the chalkboard. The plain text of the message is revealed behind a flap on the rail.]

Her efforts resulted in convictions against thirty-five bootlegging ringleaders who were found to have violated the Volstead Act. Ringleaders were directly linked with suspected vessels as a result of the information arising out of her analysis.

On Dec. 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment was ratified, ending Prohibition. The Coast Guard would never be the same. After being assigned the biggest law enforcement task in its history, the Coast Guard became a paramilitary law enforcement agency with a crucial role in national security and expertise in the interdiction of law-breaking vessels. It also

The Coast guard’s law enforcement role continued to develop throughout the 20th century, first with enforcement of the Whaling Convention Act of 1932 and the Anti-Smuggling Act of 1935 continuing up to the modern day.
