Step aboard the USCGC Ingham — a National Historic Landmark and the most decorated ship in Coast Guard history. Now permanently docked in Key West, the Ingham serves as a floating museum, memorial, and event space. Visitors can explore the ship’s preserved interiors, honor fallen service members, enjoy breathtaking sunset views, and even host private events on board. Whether you’re here for history, reflection, or celebration, the Ingham offers a powerful and unforgettable experience.
The USCGC Ingham (WHEC-35) is more than just a ship — she is a living piece of American history. Commissioned in 1936 and decommissioned in 1988, she served with distinction in World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War. Ingham is the only Coast Guard cutter to receive two Navy Combat Action Ribbons, alongside two Presidential Unit Citations and a Navy Unit Commendation.
Now docked in Key West as a museum and memorial, the Ingham honors those who served and sacrificed. But time and salt air are taking their toll — and without urgent preservation, this national treasure could be lost.
