How to order: Please refer to the custom made section in this link The USCGC Cape Small is a 180-foot vessel built to serve as a buoy tender for the U.S. Coast Guard. Commissioned in the 1970s, it was specifically designed to maintain aids to navigation and provide environmental protection and search-and-rescue operations. Operating in the northeastern United States, Cape Small played a significant role in keeping maritime lanes safe, especially along the New England coast. With its reliable hull and robust machinery, the Cape Small was instrumental in ensuring the safety of maritime traffic during its service life, participating in numerous rescue missions and environmental efforts before being retired and replaced by more advanced Juniper-class tenders.
