Another "last" - the passing of another era. Too many of those nowadays. Thanks for posting the article, John.

Are they replacing it with anything? Nope. The extra load will be covered by the new mackinaw 30. Talk is that the Acacia is to be sold off to a foreign country. There is also talk of it being cut up for scrap or used as a breakwall. Unless some money shows up in the next month I would say the Acacia's future will regretfully be the scrapyard. So far there has been absolutely no talk of anyone wishing to save her as a museum, etc..

Here ya go. Here's your chance for the Wacko "cruise" ship! I'll bet it's already Coast Guard approved.

Great for all the Coasties who served on the Acacia. I remember her well as a resident of Port Huron where the Buoy Tender was stationed for many years.
Someday we'll see her again at Navy Pier.
