Description:
I photographed this laid up boat at Hampton on July 4, 2005.
There are no names on the bow and stern but a lifering has WILL COLONNA painted on it. Painted hazegray so there could be a navy connection? Certainly is vintage probably 1950s or 60s? Would appreciate info on her.

Built in 1938, by Jakobson Shipyard of Oyster Bay, New York (hull #276) as the Dauntless No. 12 for the Dauntless Towing Company.
The tug was later renamed as the Dauntless No. 2 .
She was then acquired by the Moran Towing Company where she was renamed as the Helen B. Moran .
The tug was sold and was renamed as the West Point , then as the Easton , and then as the Will Colonna .
Her registry was withdrawn in 1992

This is likely a World War II-vintage former Army tug. Judging by the name, probably owned by Colonna Shipyard (http://www.colonnaship.com). I'm no expert on tug classes, but it may be an ST-tug. Don't quote me on that part, though, as I'm not sure.
