Looks like it might be the ex Tamaroa
205' 6" x 39' 3-1/4"x 18
Built Commercial Iron Works, Portland Oregon in 1943 for the USN. Originally the U.S. Navy's Zuni (ATF-95), a 205-foot fleet ocean/salvage tug.
Transferred to the Coast Guard on 29 June 1946.
The Coast Guard decommissioned the Tamaroa on 1 February 1994 and transferred her to the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York, New York. Ultimately she was donated to the Tamaroa Maritime Foundation, based in Richmond, Virginia.
