The SS Lilac is a rare example of the no nonsense, steam powered ships of the first half of the 20th century.  She was built in 1933 and served faithfully in the U.S. Lighthouse Service and the U.S. Coast Guard for 40 years.	Lilac was decommissioned in 1973, and she rested in a fresh-water creek in Richmond Virginia until she was rescued in 2003. This beautifully functional little ship was recently brought to Pier 40 at the heart of Manhattan Island, where she has begun her second life as an important national ship restoration.	She also was a training vessel for merchant mariners at the Harry Lundeburg School of Seamanship, operated by the Seafarers' International Union at Piney Point on the Potomac.
