USS Nahant (SP-1250) was a civilian tugboat that the United States Navy acquired in World War I.

Operating in the 3rd Naval District, Nahant performed towing tasks in New York Harbor for the rest of World War I and into the early post-war era.

Decommissioning early in 1920, Nahant was transferred to the City of New York and served the Police Department as Service No.

Returned to the Navy in 1928, Nahant was struck from the Naval Register 27 September 1928 and sold to Joseph O’Boyle of New York City 24 December 1928.

Subsequently, she enjoyed a lengthy maritime history, changing her name a few times as: Gotham, W. E. Hunt, and Good Fortune.
