Coast Guard

Previously we have seen the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. Nude photos and videos of the Coast Guard are rare, but I found a few of them. The photo above shows Coast Guard sailors bathing on a ship in the Pacific during World War II.
Likewise, this video shows a shower on the deck of a Coast Guard cutter off Cherbourg, France on August 24, 1944.
This 1950s photo by the Western Photography Guild shows 21-year-old model Billy Joe Carr, who was either in the Coast Guard at the time or had just left it. There are no photos of Carr showing frontal nudity, but this posing strap leaves little to the imagination.

And here's a rear view of Carr from the same session.

Bodybuilder Ray Routledge had just gotten out of the Coast Guard in 1953 when he was photographed by Russ Warner. I got the photo from Vintage Muscle Men (thanks, Jerry).
This video is not vintage, but the Coast Guard veteran portrayed here on a nude beach is old enough that we might call him vintage.

We end with a sculpture that is not vintage, either (it dates from 2010), but I have to include it. It's called The Coast Guard and it's located at the harbor in Fremantle, Australia.

Billy Joe Carr's posing strap is one for the books.
Carr is a great catch in Whitman’s net :)
His pouch reveals penile delineation, which got some physique photographers in trouble with the authorities….:)
That sculpture is pretty cool.
I think the sculpture is odd.
Some Grade A prime beef in the photo of Coast Guard WWII men taking an on-deck shower. Wonder if the photo ever made it to LIFE magazine.
This photo did not appear in LIFE magazine. It was not taken by a LIFE photographer; it was taken by an unidentified Coast Guard sailor aboard the ship LST-170.
My kind of man Coast Guard veteran!
