We toured the USS Mohawk that is docked in Key West near Fort Zachary Taylor. The ship was about 3 weeks from becoming scrap metal when the current owners rescued her and began the restoration process. It is amazing to see all of the WWII artifacts and learn about life on a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter. The only money they have to use on the restoration is from tours and donations....check out their website, maybe you or a family member would like to help their cause.
