High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The first USS Triton (Harbor Tug No. 10), later YT-10, was a United States Navy harbor tug in commission from 1889 to 1930. Triton was built as a steam-powered, steel-hulled commercial tug in 1889 at Camden, New Jersey, by J. H. Dialogue. The U.S. Navy purchased her in September 1889 and commissioned her shortly thereafter as USS Triton (Harbor Tug No. 10). Triton spent her entire career operating from the Washington Navy Yard at Washington, D.C. She frequently steamed down the Potomac River to the naval reservation at Indian Head, Maryland; during 1900 alone, she recorded 198 round-trips between Washington and Indian Head. During Triton's career, Indian Head was home first to the Naval Proving Grounds in the 1890s and then to the Naval Powder Factory during the first half of the 20th century; in all probability, Triton towed barges to Indian Head laden with materials to be used there in the testing of naval guns and in the production of gunpowder and explosives.
