Nash

The Nash is a steel-hulled tugboat housed at a maritime museum in Oswego. The vessel displays its original equipment and structure from its period as a military supply ship.

The ship was built in 1944 at a New York shipyard and served immediately in a major military operation in northern France. It was part of the support operations that supplied thousands of soldiers during that campaign.

The name reflects its role as a supply vessel during wartime operations. Visitors can see the preserved instruments and equipment that show how the ship operated during that period.

Visiting is best during the warmer months when the museum operates regularly. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, as boarding the ship involves stairs and uneven surfaces.

The ship was not just a supply vessel but actively defended itself against enemy aircraft during its operations. This unexpected combat role shows how dangerous even support ships were during that period.
