USCGC Sundew was a 180-foot buoy tender built in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1943 for the United States Coast Guard. During its 60 years of service, it maintained navigation aids in the Great Lakes, including Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge, and conducted icebreaking and search and rescue missions.
In 2004, the Sundew was decommissioned and transferred to the National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo, Ohio. The ship was restored to its 1940s appearance and is open for tours.
The Sundew was known for its distinctive black and white stripes, which made it easily recognizable among the other white Coast Guard cutters. The ship earned multiple unit commendations for its service, including during the Vietnam War and the 1975 Arthur M. Anderson rescue mission on Lake Superior.
