Diligence Patrols New York Harbor After 911 | Wilmington News
Description
In the wake of 9/11, the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Diligence and its 77 crew members were deployed to New York Harbor—stationed for nearly two months in a high-stakes mission to secure the waters. Patrolling past iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, they conducted boarding inspections, guided traffic, and ran emergency drills—all while families back home in Wilmington, North Carolina, waited anxiously for their return. Their tireless efforts helped safeguard one of America’s most vital harbors during a time of national crisis, before the ship finally returned home in November 2001.
