USCGC Dogwood (WAGL-259) was a 114-foot buoy tender built for the United States Coast Guard and commissioned in 1941. Primarily assigned to the Eighth Coast Guard District, the Dogwood operated out of Vicksburg, Mississippi, performing vital aids to navigation duties along the Mississippi River system. During World War II, the cutter also conducted river patrols and supported wartime logistics efforts. After decades of service, Dogwood was decommissioned in 1989, having played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of inland waterways.
