Pock & Plant 2411 Res. 3141;
a Icebreaker Crew
' Hoists New Flag
‘ At Point Barrow
On a coastal spot nfear Point
e Bairrow, Alaska, crewmen of the
I Navy icebreaker USS Burton
Island made a 45-minute boat ride
to visit the lonely site where Will
0 Rogers died in a plane crash some
y 23 years ago.
1 The Burton Island is presently
l operating in this area in connec
^ tion with the annual Arctic DEW
Line resupply. The ship left
Kodiak several weeks ago.
' During the visit notice was
taken of a tattered flag hoisted
over the simple monuments that
records what happened there on
August 15, 1935.
The ship’s quartermasters quick
ly provided a new American flag
;md two Oklahomans were seiectc^
for the honor of raising the new
flag. They were Seaman Billy
Ausbrook of Oilton, and Seaman
Joseph Tompkins of Lawton.
Present during the ceremonies
was Commander Henry J. Brant
ingham, USN, a native of Ponca
City, Okla., and Commanding
Officer of the Burton Island.
The seldom-visited Rogers mon
ument on this northern, cpast
became an attraction to Burton
Island personnel when Commander
Brantingham granted '.‘liberty” to
tjie ship^ complement. Braving,
a ,45-minute boat ride in icy waters
from the ship to. the beach, the
Burton Island sailors paid their
respects at the- Rogers’ monument.
Wiley Post, who was with Rogers
during their Arctic Circle pioneer
flight which ended in thei fatal
.. crash, shares -recognition 1 with
Rogers on the monument.
