History:

The USCGC Cape Higgon was a U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender commissioned in the 1970s. It operated primarily in the eastern United States, where its main duties included maintaining navigational aids, supporting search-and-rescue efforts, and responding to environmental disasters such as oil spills.

Cape Higgon served as a reliable vessel throughout its service, ensuring the safety of shipping routes and providing critical assistance in emergencies. The vessel’s durable construction and operational capabilities made it a vital asset to the Coast Guard, until it was retired and replaced by newer models with enhanced technology.
