USS Monterey (1862)

USS "Monterey" (1862) was a steamer purchased by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a tugboat for several decades on the U.S. West Coast.

"Monterey", a steam screw tug, was built as "Monitor" in 1862 by Eden Landing, San Francisco, California; purchased by the Navy from William Mighell 20 April 1863; renamed "Monterey" 18 May 1863: and placed in service the same day.

Assigned to the Mare Island Navy Yard

The first tug permanently assigned to Mare Island Navy Yard, "Monterey" served the Navy at that base for nearly three decades, operating in and around Mare Island, California, and San Francisco Bay, towing ships and barges during the shipyard’s years of development into one of America’s largest shipbuilding centers.

Decommissioned and scrapped after three decades of work

Her name was changed to "Ivy" 3 January 1891 and she was struck from the Naval Register 7 October 1892 and scrapped.
