⚓ Sunset + Shipwrecks = The USCGC Ingham at Dusk


Hey Reader,

It’s Throwback Tuesday, and this week we’re taking you to a spot that blends history, waterfront views, and “did I just see a ghost ship?” vibes: the USCGC Ingham. 🛳️🌅

This old cutter-turned-memorial sits off the shore, and watching the sun sink behind it? Pure magic. If you’ve never been, it’s one of those must‑see corners of Key West that feels like a hidden chapter in the island’s story.

👉 Check out the full post here — all the photos, history, and why I swoon over sunsets here.


Why I Love the Ingham at Sunset

  • Historic feels: It’s a working museum with stories you can almost hear in the wind.
  • Golden hour perfection: The silhouette of the ship + sky on fire = postcard material.
  • Peaceful escape: Off the beaten path but close enough—it’s quiet in a way that lets you just be.

Have you made the trek to see the Ingham at dusk? Or maybe there’s another sunset spot that made your heart pause (in a good way)? Hit reply and tell me — I live for good sunset stories.

Until next Tuesday, may your skies be golden and your worries light.

Cheers to maritime magic and evening serenity,
