Best Cutters of the Best Coast Guard!

Created by The Claw of Knowledge

The stories of the fifteen best ships in Coast Guard history, told with humor, history, and pictures of ships wearing hats. Follow the Coast Guard as it fights pirates, sinks subs, and explores new continents. Watch our cutters save lives, catch spies, and change the world. This is not the Coast Guard you know (assuming you know it at all)!

One Day Left! Now Using BackerKit!

Meet Seneca

Seneca was a pretty cool boat. She was built to blow up abandoned derelicts around the turn of the century, but soon turned her reinforced hull and extra munitions space to the International Ice Patrol and fighting submarines. Oh, and she caught the biggest rum runner of the Prohibition Era. She was basically Elliot Ness on the water.

We're almost done!

Just one more day left to pledge on the Kickstarter! Thank you all so much for your support - I couldn't have done it with out you! Together, we've not only funded a really awesome book, we've added Foil Stamping to the Cover! That means metallic lettering! Now I'm just waiting to see if we hit one of the other goals before it closes out. Top stretch goal means I mint new Challenge Coins!

Powered By BackerKit!

So, some great news: I'm now using BackerKit to help me deliver your rewards! After my last Kickstarter, I found tracking which rewards I need to ship out a little overwhelming. This time, I'm getting some outside help. BackerKit provides tools to help me manage your rewards and get them out quicker and more easily. So this is good news for all of us!

Just 32 hours left! Almost time to celebrate!

Stretch Goals!

We're over 100%!!

We're over 100% funded and we've got 5 days left on the project. So that means it's time to add stretch goals! Stretch goals are upgrades to the project that I'll add if we hit a certain funding goal before the Kickstarter ends.

Here's the stretch goals I've got lined up. Not to sound click-baity, but I think #3 is pretty sweet:

 So! Spread the word! Tell your friends and/or enemies! We're definitely making a book, but now you've got a chance to make it even cooler!

WE DID IT!!!!
about 7 years ago – Tue, Apr 11, 2017 at 08:32:47 AM

Thank you so much for your support! I'm so excited to make a really awesome book about the Coast Guard's greatest cutters! Right now, I'm busy celebrating, but tomorrow, I'm going to start announcing STRETCH GOALS!

What, pray tell, are stretch goals? Well, those are extra things I'll add to the project depending on how much extra we raise. Things like upgrades to the book itself, or maybe (just sayin') A SECOND, ALL NEW SET OF CHALLENGE COINS. Or, maybe I'll increase the number of cutters I'm including in the book.

I guess we'll find out soon!

THANKS AGAIN!
