Opening hours USCGC Acacia

After being decommissioned, the USCGC Acacia (WLB-406) became a museum ship in Manistee, Michigan. Initially, it was given to the state of Illinois for the benefit of the American Academy of Industry, with plans to transform it into a maritime museum in Chicago. However, due to the lack of suitable docking, the plan was never executed. Thanks to the efforts of a common board member, the ship was transferred to the Society for the Preservation of the SS City of Milwaukee. On October 16, 2009, Acacia sailed under its own power to Manistee, Michigan, where it became part of the SS City of Milwaukee museum, a National Historic Landmark.
