USCGC Tahoma (WMEC-908)

USCGC Tahoma (WMEC-908) is a United States Coast Guard medium endurance cutter.

Her keel was laid on June 28, 1983 at Robert Derecktor Shipyard Incorporated, Middletown, Rhode Island.

She is the third cutter to bear the name Tahoma, which is the Northwest Pacific Indian word that refers to the Cascade Range mountain peak now known as Mount Rainier.

[2] During the afternoon of 16 January 2010 a boy was born on board to a Haitian woman while Tahoma was transporting wounded survivors from Port-au-Prince to the still-functional medical facilities of Cap-Haïtien, to the north.

The Tahoma rescued almost 100 Haitian refugees from this dangerously overcrowded smuggling craft. [ 4 ]
