USCGC Cape York (WPB-3863) was a United States Coast Guard 95-foot Cape-class patrol boat commissioned in 1959. Primarily stationed in New York, Cape York conducted search and rescue operations, law enforcement, and maritime patrols along the Atlantic coast. During her service, the cutter responded to numerous maritime emergencies and contributed to anti-smuggling and coastal security missions during the Cold War era. Cape York was decommissioned in 1977, after nearly two decades of dedicated service to the Coast Guard and maritime safety.
