Moored in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, USCG Cutter 37—formerly known as USCGC Taney—is a living legend and the last warship still afloat to have fought during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Commissioned in 1936, this mighty cutter battled through World War II, opening fire on Japanese aircraft over Honolulu, and later served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. For over 50 years, she patrolled the Pacific, rescued mariners, intercepted smugglers, and even hosted world leaders.

In 2020, the ship was officially renamed USCG Cutter 37 to disassociate it from its original namesake, Roger B. Taney, the controversial U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice best known for delivering the pro-slavery Dred Scott decision. Despite the name change, the ship’s legacy as a symbol of American service and sacrifice remains unchanged.

Today, visitors can walk the same decks where Coast Guardsmen defended against enemy aircraft, explore the crew’s quarters, and see restored artifacts—including an interactive experience following Soogie, the ship’s WWII mascot dog. Whether you’re a military history buff or just love exploring warships, USCG Cutter 37 is an unmissable step back in time.
