About USCGC Taney WHEC-37
The USCGC Taney is a museum ship in Baltimore's harbor that was commissioned in 1936. Named after former U.S. Treasury Secretary Roger B. Taney, she belonged to the Treasury class and served in the Coast Guard for more than five decades. She holds special historical significance as the last remaining ship still afloat that survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. After she was decommissioned in 1986, she was designated a National Historic Landmark. Today, you can tour the warship, which is roughly 100 meters (about 327 feet) long, and learn about her long service and her role in the maritime history of the United States.
