The USCGC BUTTONWOOD WAGL/WLB-306 was one of thirty-nine 180-foot buoy tenders built and commissioned into the U.S. Coast Guard during WWII. Over almost sixty years of service the 180s proved to be one of the best multi-mission platforms ever developed for the Coast Guard.

Ron, outstanding video. Amazing to see the changes over the decades. Having served on Coast Guard Buoy Tenders in the 60's this video makes me feel quite proud to have served.
