I am wondering if the 97 ft tug "Erik Foss" is still around to see? I have a picture of her as the "Gleaner" when she was still steam powered. Foss Launch and Tug company bought her in 1952 where she was fitted with a diesel engine. I would love a recent picture. Thanks. Bret.Chenoweth@comcast.net

Guest		23-Feb-2008 01:08
The 'Mary Mackin' was scrapped by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans after it was abandoned, beached, and burned. Its sister ship, the 'Florence Filberg' is now stuck to the bottom in Sooke, BC and the community is trying to find a way to get rid of it.

Guest		30-Jan-2008 21:57
The tug Mary Mackin burnt in Patricial Bay BC, several years ago. The sistership "Florence Filberg" sank near Seattle and was towed away to 'somewhere', late last year!

I sailed on Theriot, Gulf Fleet and American Offshore Fleet tugs in the North Sea in the 70's and 80's. Do you have any photos of these?

Mrs. J. C. Liscia		16-Sep-2007 20:22
Truly amazing photos. Nice work. I am trying to find out about a Captain Sommerville, who was a colorful tow boat captain. This would likely be in the early 1920's. Any info., would also be appreciated. Also, we understand he lived in North Vancouver on Keith Road. An address would be greatly appreciated, as my grandparents lived next door, and we are trying to locate my family home. Much appreciated. Thanks, Mrs. J. C. Liscia

re: Tugboat TP-230 contact at jlwbjw@windstream.net

Jim		14-Sep-2007 20:13
I sailed from Lake Washington to the South Pacific on a Seagoing tug (no name) only the TP 230 which belonged to the War Department. I think the Army Transport Service. She was built in a yard in Lake Washington in 1944. A tremendous boat that chugged for thousands of miles with no problems. We left her in New Guinea a few years later. Does anyone know what yard buit her or where I could find pictures of her?
