The USCGC Lilac is a 1933 steamship that served as a lighthouse tender, carrying supplies to lighthouses and buoys for the U.S. Lighthouse Service and subsequently the U.S. Coast Guard. The last steam-engine ship in the Coast Guard fleet, she was decommissioned in 1972. The Lilac is now owned by the non-profit Lilac Preservation Project, and is docked on the West side of Manhattan at Hudson River Park's Pier 25. She was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
