The story

LILAC is a retired Coast Guard cutter that once carried supplies to lighthouses and maintained buoys. The vessel is a docked museum ship, described as America's only surviving steam-powered lighthouse tender, and it is owned and operated by a non-profit that hosts free exhibits, tours and educational activities while the ship undergoes restoration.
