February 27, 28 | 1–3pm | Pier 17, North Side | Free
The Seaport Museum in collaboration with the Seaport is pleased to host the fast response cutter John Patterson of the United States Coast Guard. Throughout her visit she will be docked at Pier 17 and will offer several opportunities for the public to come aboard. Please find the schedule below:
Tuesday, February 27: 1–3pm
Wednesday, February 28: 1–3pm
The vessel is used for a variety of missions including search and rescue, fisheries regulations enforcement, and homeland security. The vessel was named in honor of John C. Patterson of Howell, New Jersey, who was a decorated Union officer in the American Civil War, and later served in the Life-Saving Service for 16 years. He began as junior most surfman and rose to the rank of keeper at Sandy Hook, where he served until 1883, followed by Station Shark River until his retirement later that year.
Tour the 154-foot vessel with Coast Guard Cadets and learn more about the history of the ship. No registration needed, just stop by during the open hours.
