The USCGC Greenbrier was a stern paddlewheel steamer that was used as a river tender, first by the United States Lighthouse Service and then by the United States Coast Guard.
The Greenbrier was built by Charles Ward Engineering Works of Charleston, West Virginia, with a steel hull topped by a composite superstructure.
Five percent of her space was allotted to buoy tending equipment with the remaining space was made up of "hotel features."
She was transferred to the Coast Guard in 1939 along with the rest of the Lighthouse Service and remained in commission until 19 September 1947.
