USS APALACHICOLA (YTB-767)

'USS ''Apalachicola'' (YTB-767)' was a United States Navy tugboat that operated at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. It underwent a main engine overhaul in 1993, during which time it was not active. In 1992, the ''Apalachicola'' moved a crane barge from the shipyard to the Bremerton boardwalk. The crane placed a bronze statue of a ship's propeller and a shipyard worker presenting a model aircraft carrier to a young boy. The statue remains on the boardwalk today.
During the 1990s the ''Apalachicola'' served alongside the ''Pokagon'' (YTB-836) and ''Arcata'' (YTB-768). The ''Pokagon'' was the newest YTB class tugboat in the navy at the time. The three tugs were docked at the easternmost pier of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, located a few hundred yards west of the Bremerton Seattle Ferrie terminal.
