Tribute to the CG 180-foot Seagoing Buoy Tender

[Matt89]

For any of you mariners out there, here's a great link to a history of the US Coast Guard's 180-foot buoy tenders:

They were built at the beginning of WW2 and the last one finally paid off in 2006 - talk about getting your money's worth!

Didn't take time to read all of that, but thanks for posting!
