Notes
  • Photos 1-33 were taken while the FIR was mothballed at the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet in Benicia, California.
  • Significance: Designed a National Historic Landmark for her exceptional national significance, the FIR is the last surviving tender built under the U.S. Lighthouse Service. She was originally used to service and maintain lighthouses in the Puget Sound and along the Washington coast. The FIR remained largely unchanged, and as such "represents a largely unheralded workaday-aspect of the lighthouse service, as well as the seafaring foundation from which the modern Coast Guard's buoy tender fleet evolved."
