USCGC Ingham, Maritime museum in Key West, United States

The USCGC Ingham is a Treasury-class Coast Guard cutter moored in Key West harbor as a floating museum. The vessel measures 327 feet (100 meters) and has been restored to allow access to several decks, including the bridge, engine rooms, and crew living quarters.

Built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and commissioned on 12 September 1936, Ingham escorted convoys in the Atlantic and on 15 December 1942 sank the German submarine U-626. She later served as an amphibious flagship in three Pacific campaigns and earned two Presidential Unit Citations for Vietnam War operations. Decommissioned in 1988, she was displayed at Patriot's Point from 1989 and towed to Key West, arriving on 24 November 2009.

The name Ingham honors Samuel Delucenna Ingham, a Treasury Secretary from Pennsylvania who served in the early 19th century. Visitors today see its cabins and compartments arranged as crew members used them during active duty.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM and remains closed on weekends and holidays. Visitors can explore the ship independently or join guided tours that offer additional insight into life aboard.

Ingham is the only cutter ever awarded two Presidential Unit Citations, earned for Operation SEA LORDS and Operation SWIFT RAIDER during a Vietnam deployment from 3 August 1968 to 28 February 1969. On her quarterdeck, a plaque lists the 912 Coast Guardsmen killed in action in World War II and Vietnam.
