How to order: Please refer to the custom made section in this link The USCGC Cape Gull was a U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender that played a vital role in maintaining navigational aids along the U.S. East Coast. Commissioned in the 1970s, Cape Gull was primarily responsible for ensuring the safe passage of maritime traffic, especially along key shipping lanes. Its main duties included buoy maintenance, search-and-rescue operations, and environmental protection, particularly during oil spill containment. The vessel served reliably for many years before being replaced by more modern ships with enhanced technological capabilities. Cape Gull's contribution to the U.S. Coast Guard's operations left a lasting legacy of safety and environmental stewardship.
