Description:
A steel-hulled '96 Viet Cong trawler that attempted to run weapons and ammunition into the Delta. This photograph shows the captured trawler after more than 80 tons of weapons had been removed by Task Force 116. Master Caption: In the Mekong Delta area on June 20, 1966, a green Viet Cong trawler bearing no flad or markings was intercepted by the Coast Guard Cutter Point League. The trawler attempted to fight it out with two U.S. Coast Guard Cutters, but was chased into shallow water and set afire. The steel-hulled 96 foot 11 inches Viet Cong trawler was estimated by U.S. Military Personnel on the scene to be carrying about eighty tons of ammunition. 120 rifles, 13 machine guns, 12 recoilless mortars and several hundred assorted small arms such as pistols and carbines were part of the cargo. The trawler was run aground 7 1/2 miles south, near the mouth of the Co Chein River near the village of Ba Dong at L 9 degrees 7.5 north L 106 degrees 34.1 50 yeards from the beach.
