USLHT Mangrove, a 821-ton light house tender, was built at Elizabethport, New Jersey, in 1897. She served the Light House Service and Coast Guard as a navigation aids tender for nearly fifty years. In the Spanish-American War, and during both World Wars, Mangrove served with the U.S. Navy. She was classified WAGL-232 during the Second World War. Soon after the end of that conflict, she was decommissioned and was sold for scrapping in March 1947.
This page features 1898 views of and on board USLHT Mangrove.
