text: # USCGC Sycamore (WAGL-268)
  
  USCGC Sycamore (WAGL-268), a 114-foot, 230-ton river buoy tender, was one of three such vessels (her sisters were the USCGC Dogwood (WAGL-259) and USCGC Forsythia (WAGL-63)) built to replace the stern paddlewheel steamers that the Coast Guard decided were too expensive to maintain.
