Arthur Foss, Museum ship at Lake Union Park, United States
The Arthur Foss tugboat spans 111.5 feet in length and features twin engines, wooden construction, and extensive maritime equipment from different periods.
Built in 1889 as Wallowa in Portland, Oregon, this vessel towed sailing ships over the Columbia River bar and supported the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898.
The vessel gained recognition through its appearance as Narcissus in the 1933 film Tugboat Annie before being renamed to honor company president Arthur Foss.
Visitors can explore the vessel at Northwest Seaport Maritime Heritage Center, located at 860 Terry Avenue North in Seattle, Washington.
This tugboat made a notable escape from Wake Island in December 1941, just before the Japanese invasion during World War II.
