Luna, Museum ship in Chelsea, United States.
The Luna tugboat measures 90 feet in length and features a wooden hull constructed from oak and southern pine with wooden pegs.
Built in 1930, Luna became the first private diesel-electric tugboat in the world and operated in Boston Harbor until its retirement in 1971.
The vessel represents maritime innovation in Massachusetts through its preserved original equipment and engineering characteristics from the early 20th century.
The museum ship maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours that explain the mechanics of tugboat operations in Boston Harbor.
Luna contains a glass panel above its propeller that allowed crew members to monitor the propulsion system during operations.
