1933 Lighthouse Tender Lilac |
Type: Portal
Date Completed: October 11, 2006
Website: steamerlilac.org
Description: Lilac was decommissioned in 1973, and she rested in a fresh-water creek in
Richmond Virginia until she was rescued in 2003. This beautifully functional
little ship was recently brought to Pier 40 at the heart of Manhattan Island,
where she has begun her second life as an important national ship restoration.
For four decades, Lilac served the people of America well; now she will continue
to serve as part of our valued history.
