The U.S. Navy destroyer USS <i>Baldwin</i> (DD-624) aground at Montauk Point, Long Island, New York (USA), in April 1961.<br>
Baldwin was decommissioned on 20 June 1946 and laid up. In April 1961, she was to be transferred from Boston, Massachusetts (USA), to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA). <i>Baldwin</i> ran aground about 3.2 km southwest of Montauk Point, Long Island, in the early afternoon of 16 April 1961 when the towline parted during the passage to Philadelphia. <i>Windlass</i> successfully pulled her free. However, <i>Baldwin</i> was considered not worth repairing. Her name was struck from the U.S. Navy List on 1 June 1961, and she was scuttled on 6 June 1961, not far from where she went aground.
