F.D. Russell is a wooden tugboat built in 1938 and operated in the US states of North Carolina and Florida throughout its service life. It was retired in November 1987, and donated to the museum in Ponce Inlet, Florida.

History

Frank D. Russell constructed the ship's wheel as a high school student for a shop class project. He wanted to construct a tugboat in which he wanted to mount the wheel in order to use it after graduation. He designed the boat from using postcards showing New York tugboats with the help of his father. He finally built the 46-foot tugboat in 1938 on the banks of the St. Mary's River. He had carved the curved bow stem from a live oak tree cut in nearby Turnbull Hammock. The boat's ribs are also oak, and its hull is planked with two inch cypress.

For over half a century the "F.D. Russell" plied the waters of the Halifax River.
