While square-rigged sailing ships, steamboats and ferries, and ever-larger cruise and cargo-carrying vessels have made their mark on Puget Sound's maritime history, no other vessels have captured the imagination of shore-bound seafarers like tugboats. Beginning in the 1850s when the first steam-powered tugboats arrived in the Sound from the East Coast via San Francisco, company owners and their crews competed fiercely for business, towing ships, log rafts, and barges. The magnetic attraction of powerful, tough tugs both large and small is unexplainable but enduring. This book, featuring about 200 rare historic images and carefully researched text, tells the colorful story of tug boating on Puget Sound.

Seller's Description:
May have some shelf-wear due to normal use. Your purchase funds free job training and education in the greater Seattle area. Thank you for supporting Goodwill's nonprofit mission!
An excellent compendium of photos and history of the tugboat industry on and around Puget Sound. My only wish would be that it could have been a larger undertaking to include more of the thousands of marine photos I know Mark has in his collection.
Thanks Mark and Chuck, my whole life on and around Puget Sound raced before my eyes as I read the book.
Congratulations to all involved in bringing the book to market.
