- LILAC Preservation Project
new
The LILAC - New York's Only Historic Steamship. LILAC is a decomissioned U.S. Coast Guard vessel that served as a lighthouse tender for the U.S. Lighthouse Service from 1933 until 1939. In 1939, the Coast Guard took over LILAC, under the name WAGL-227, as a buoy tender until 1972. She is the last surviving vessel in her class (Violet Class) and one of the few steam-powered government vessels in this country. She is the oldest lighthouse tender left as well as the only steam-powered vessel from the Coast Guard. New York, NY
