The Patrice McAllister was a United States flagged tugboat launched in 1919.[1] She sank in 1976 while being towed to a shipyard in Jersey City, New Jersey to have her engine replaced. The vessel was 96 ft long. The wreck is currently visited by recreational divers.[2]

McAllister Brothers would later commission a 105 ft vessel of the same name.[3]
