USCGC White Lupine

USCGC White Lupine (WAGL/WLM-546) was a Cactus-class 180-foot buoy tender commissioned by the United States Coast Guard in 1944. Built for service during World War II, she initially operated out of Boston, Massachusetts, performing aids to navigation, icebreaking, and search and rescue duties. Over the decades, White Lupine served extensively along the Atlantic coast and the Great Lakes, earning a reputation for reliability during harsh weather and ice conditions. The cutter was decommissioned in 1998 after more than five decades of distinguished service, exemplifying the Coast Guard's enduring commitment to maritime safety and navigation.
