Tugboat Jeffrey Foss History
Tugboat JEFFREY FOSS was built in 1970, by McDermott Shipyard Incorporated of Morgan City, Louisiana (hull #165) as the JEFFREY FOSS for the FOSS Maritime Company of Seattle, Washington.

The tug was chartered by the Department of Ecology for commercial tug services. This included rescue, standby, and operational drills at Neah Bay at the far west Olympic coast of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The vessel had been specifically outfitted, and the crew trained to support the mission as a dedicated rescue tug while stationed at Neah Bay on the Washington Olympic Coast.

In 2016 the vessel was transferred to a FOSS Marine Holdings subsidiary. The COOK INLET TUG and BARGE COMPANY of Anchorage, Alaska renamed the tugboat as the TAKU WIND.

Powered by two EMD 12-645-E7 diesel engines; with Lufkin RHS 2500 reduction gears, at a ratio of 4.032:1; turning two 104 (in) by 106 (in) nickel aluminum-bronze fixed pitch propellers for a rated 4, 300 horsepower.

The vessel’s electrical service is provided by two 105W generator sets; driven by two Caterpillar 3304B diesel engines. The tug’s capacities are 83,000 gallons of fuel; 150 gallons of hydraulic oil; 1,700 gallons of lube oil; 3,000 gallons of ballast and 3,000 gallons of water.

The towing equipment consists of a Markey TDSD-32 double drum towing winch; outfitted with 2,000 (ft) of 2 (in) towing wire on each drum; driven by a dedicated Caterpillar D-330 diesel engine with a FOSS bow winch; outfitted with 150 (ft) of 1-1/8 (in) ship wire.

Tugboats Today
Originally the tug's purpose was the towing of ocean sailing vessels to and from their intended docks. Today, mighty engines move ships, yet these ships continue to require assistance of these powerful and responsive tugboats in and out of docks throughout Puget Sound and around the world. The construction of today's tugboats includes the most advanced functional designs, advanced electronic navigation and mighty engines combined with the finest able-bodied crews and skilled captains. ARGH! Lads! This is seafaring.

Pacific Coast Tugboats
Artwork dedicated to the men of the Pacific Coast's fleet of working boats, and to the gallant vessels, which will forever live in our memory.

Classic Pacific Coast Tugboats: Gallant workboats with a history of nostalgic drama and color in tugboat operation on Pacific waters. Tugboats are a colorful and essential part of the Pacific Coast seascape today, just as they were a century ago.

Pushing their way through fierce storms to find a stricken ship a thousand miles at sea or sailing down a fairway on a summer afternoon with seagulls crying and catching rides on the boom of logs astern, tugboats are a colorful and essential part of the Pacific Northwest Coast today.

The hiss of steam and the creak of walking beams have given way to diesel and tractor power. Tugboats are a story of brave men in powerful vessels who are not afraid to take on a mighty ocean. A history of hard-hitting sea adventures of the great ships of sail and steam alike.
