USCGC McCulloch

USCGC McCulloch was a revenue cutter commissioned by the United States in 1897, originally serving under the United States Revenue Cutter Service before merging into the U.S. Coast Guard. Notably, the McCulloch participated in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898, providing crucial support to Admiral Dewey's fleet. Following her wartime service, the cutter performed patrol, law enforcement, and rescue missions along the West Coast and Pacific regions. McCulloch remained active until she sank after a collision with a passenger steamship off the coast of California in 1917.
