Montgomery, Historic paddle steamer and snagboat in Alabama, United States.

The Montgomery is a paddle steamer that operated on Alabama waterways and was equipped with side-mounted paddle wheels for movement. The vessel was originally built to keep shipping channels clear by removing sunken logs, snags, and debris from the water.

The Montgomery was built in 1925 by the Charleston Dry Dock and Machine Company of Charleston, South Carolina, for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It cleared snags from the Coosa, Alabama, Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, Flint, Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers until its retirement on 8 November 1982. Restored in 1984 and again in 2004, it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

The boat's name honours a Confederate general from Alabama, and its steel hull was built in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1925. Visitors today tour it as a museum ship at the Tom Bevill Lock and Dam Visitor Center in Pickensville, where it sits beside the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.

The Montgomery is moored at the Tom Bevill Lock and Dam Visitor Center in Pickensville, Alabama, on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Visitors reach the ship through the visitor center, which also covers the lock and dam. The vessel sits in the water beside the center, so the hull, sternwheel and forward A-frame boom can be seen from the bank.

The boat was specialized in removing obstacles called snags, which were tree trunks anchored to the river bottom that posed serious hazards to other vessels. This unusual job made it an essential tool for river maintenance across Alabama and beyond.
