USLHT Clover

The United States Lighthouse Tender "Clover" was a lighthouse tender serving on the Great Lakes. She was privately built in 1899 and christened "Two Myrtles", after the owner's wife and daughter. In 1907 she was purchased by the Lighthouse Board, under whose aegis she served out of Milwaukee. She was rechristened "Clover" in 1913 and served under this name until being decommissioned and sold in 1935. Her new owners renamed her again, and she was once again known as "Two Myrtles" until she was retired due to age in 1947.
