USCGC Tamaroa

USCGC Tamaroa

Two ships of the United States Coast Guard have been named USCGC "Tamaroa", ultimately after the Tamaroa tribe of the Illiniwek tribal group.

* USCGC "Tamaroa" (1921) was originally the 869-ton steam-powered United States Shipping Board tug "Bartolme". She was acquired by the Coast Guard in 1921, renamed "Tamaroa" after Tamaroa, Illinois, and commissioned in 1922. She remained in service until 1935.

*, originally the U.S. Navy salvage tug USS "Zuni" (ATF-95), was launched in 1935 and transferred to the Coast Guard in 1946. Best known for a rescue conducted during the 1991 "Perfect Storm", "Tamaroa" was decommissioned in 1994. As of 2007, she is undergoing restoration as a museum ship.
