About  the Apalachee   Contact Apalachee Maritime Museum   The Coast Guard Cutter APALACHEE Maritime Museum is owned and maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard Tug Association (CGTA), and is part of the Wendy Park complex on Whiskey Island in Cleveland Ohio. The APALACHEE will become an important attraction to Cleveland’s Lakefront revitalization project. As a USCG museum, a platform for educational opportunities, and a working venue for organizations such as the Sea Scouts, Navy Sea Cadets, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Coast Guard and Navy reserves, the APALACHEE will become an important destination in Cleveland ’s already growing harbor front attractions. The CGTA is seeking volunteers and donations to help in the restoration and maintenance of the ship. Decommissioned by the Coast Guard some 22 years ago, she is in excellent shape with her paint still in USCG colors. Mechanically, she is sound and fit for sea. She is the only WW2 WYTM class ships in existence that is in this good of condition. The others have been sold into commercial marine work and pushed hard, or lost to history.                    Copyright © 2009 - U.S. Coast Guard Tug Association - All rights reserved
