Tender History:
The second Lighthouse Service vessel named Pink was a gasoline-powered 30-foot launch that was originally built for service with the tender Armeria. When Armeria transferred to Alaska, Pink stayed behind and began service as a harbor launch in the 3rd Lighthouse District. She was relocated to the 8th Lighthouse District in 1911.
She was taken out of service in 1923.
