CGC SEQUOIA (WLB 215)

CUTTER HISTORY

The CGC SEQUOIA (WLB 215) is named after a previous Coast Guard cutter with the same name that served the United States from 1937 through 1982. The original CGC SEQUOIA was launched at Defoe Boat and Motorworks in Bay City, MI, and was initially commissioned as part of the fleet operated by the U.S. Lighthouse Service. When this government agency became part of the Coast Guard in 1939, CGC SEQOIA provided 43 additional years of distinguished service before it was decommissioned from the Coast Guard's fleet on Mar 31, 1982. It is the 14th Seagoing Buoy Tender build for the Coast Guard by Marinette Marine Corporation in Manitowoc, WI.
