USCGC Taney, Coast Guard cutter at Inner Harbor, Baltimore, United States
The USCGC Taney is a Coast Guard cutter measuring 99.67 meters in length at Pier 5 in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The vessel has been converted into a museum ship and preserves the bridge, decks, weapon stations, and accommodation areas in their original layout.
The cutter entered service in 1936 and was present during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. After World War II, it remained in operation until 1986, participating in the Vietnam War and maritime law enforcement patrols.
The ship carries the name of a former US Treasury Secretary and shows spaces where crews lived and worked during extended patrols. Visitors walk through sleeping quarters, command stations, and crew areas preserved as they were used during active years.
The museum ship opens daily and allows visitors to move through decks, the bridge, and crew quarters on several levels. Touring generally takes around 60 to 90 minutes, and the metal corridors and ladders can become slippery when wet.
This cutter is the only vessel that survived the Pearl Harbor attack and still floats today. Parts of the collection hold personal items from crew members who served decades aboard the ship.
