This 95-foot Coast Guard Cutter was built in Maryland in 1953. She was used as a search and rescue vessel and to intercept drug smuggling operations. In 1984 she caught fire and was damaged. The vessel was sold at auction to Dale Scutti, a Ft. Lauderdale businessman who renamed her Robert Edmister after a friend and ocean environmentalist who had passed away. The newly named Robert Edmister was sunk on December 11, 1989 in 70 feet of water. Her wheelhouse is located 50 feet down.
