demitasse sugar spoon by Cartier measures 4 5/8” long and is nicely engraved
“U.S.S. Mojave CG” on the handle. Marked “Sterling”, this charming piece
was used in the officer’s mess. The Mojave WPG-47 was launched by the Union
Construction Co., Oakland, Calif. on 7 September 1921. First of the new Mojave
class cutters that joined the fleet for general duty, Mojave introduced the new
principle of turboelectric drive. Assigned permanent station at Honolulu, she
served with the Bering Sea Patrol, and assisted in enforcing the ban on deep-sea
sealing. Upon completion of her Bering Sea tour Mojave transferred to Boston
and, in company with cutters Modoc and Tampa, took up Grand Banks ice patrol
duties. Weather patrols were instituted in 1940, and Mojave assumed rotating
duty in 1941 as one of the Atlantic Ocean observation stations. Mojave was
assigned to the Greenland patrol in 1942, where she took part in convoy escort
and rescue operations. While acting as escort for the slow group of Convoy SG--6
which had departed Sydney, Nova Scotia 25 August, she assisted in the rescue of
570 men from the torpedoed army transport Chatham. Returned to the Treasury
Department 1 January 1946, Mojave was caught up in the postwar demobilization.
She decommissioned in 1947 and was sold in February 1948. Fine early piece from
this well known vessel. (VG+). $120.
