WYTL-65608 (U.S.C.G.C. Pendant)

Description

The WYTL class vessel was developed in the early 1960's for the United States Coast Guard. Fifteen vessels were built by three different companies; today, eleven of these vessels are still running on active duty. This model was created using blueprints of the U.S.C.G.C. *Pendant*, hardcopies of which were retrieved from Loyalhanna Dockyard of Bergen, New York (hull is transparent to show the hold of the vessel). *Pendant* was built by the Barbour Boat Works in New Bern, NC in 1962 and is currently stationed in Boston, Massachusettes (Flynn 2006; Scheina 1990:106; United States Coast Guard 1970 ).
