Description
Swiftsure (LV-83), is a lightship and museum ship moored at the Northwest Seaport in Seattle, Washington. Launched in 1904 at Camden, New Jersey and in active service until 1960 at a variety of posts on the American west coast, she is one of the oldest surviving lightships in the United States, and the only one carrying its original steam engines. She was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1969, and completed a long-running restoration in 2013.
