USLHT Shubrick (1865)
USLHT Shubrick was the first lighthouse tender steamer constructed by the Lighthouse Board. The ship was built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard of "Florida live oak and white oak," left over from the construction of the warship USS Wabash. She was "...topped by a flush deck fore and aft... To better withstand buoys scraping her sides, Shubrick's hull was painted black, topped with a white ribbon and waist. Red paddle wheels, white paddle boxes, and a black bowsprit, yards and gaffs added a saucy touch to her long and graceful cutwater, with six inches of bright copper shining above the waterline."
