Huntington is a historic tugboat, built in 1933 by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia. She has a steel plate hull and a two-story superstructure that contains the main saloon, two cabins, heads and a galley on the lower level and wheelhouse and captains quarters on the upper level. The original coal fired steam engine was replaced by a diesel engine in 1950. The ship is named for shipyard founder Collis Potter Huntington (1821-1900). Huntington was retired from service at Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in 1992, then retired finally in 1994.
She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and was removed from the National Register in 2017.
