- USCGC Forsythia (WAGL-63)
USCGC |Forsythia|WAGL-63; WLR-63, a 114-foot, 230 ton tender, was one of three such vessels (her sisters were the USCGC|Dogwood|WAGL-259 and USCGC| Sycamore|WAGL-268) built to replace the stern paddlewheel steamers that the Coast Guard decided were too expensive to maintain. She was built by Avondale Marine Ways of Westwego, Louisiana, and entered service in 1943. She was stationed at Sewickley, Pennsylvania until 1963 and then Memphis, Tennessee, until she was decommissioned in 1977.
