Product Information

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.

Title: Tugboat book's first edition proves popular Author: John Dodge Publisher: The Olympian Date: 3/15/09 If there was any question about it, South Sound maritime historian Chuck Fowler says he has solid proof that people are fascinated with the imagery and lore of tugboats. Fowler and Lake Union-based tugboat captain Mark Freeman co-wrote a book entitled "Tugboats of Puget Sound," the latest in the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing, which specializes in regional-history books that are heavy on photographs and lean on text. The first printing of 1,500 copies sold out one week after the book debuted in early February. A second printing is due out shortly. "People just love tugboats, especially in Olympia," Fowler said. "It looks like tugboat history sells, even in a tough economy." Tugboats, those maritime workhorses that tow barges and maneuver larger ships into the cramped quarters of harbors, inlets and bays, appeared in the Northwest after the California gold rush in 1849, the authors noted. Competition grows As the region grew and Puget Sound was the leading highway for commerce, competition among tugboat companies grew fierce. Tugs based in Port Townsend in the late 1800s would race out to greet square-riggers and sailing cargo ships as they entered Puget Sound. Sometimes, the first tug on the scene got the job. Other times, a bidding war among tugboat captains ensued, Fowler said. The competition for jobs explains in part the origin of organized tugboat races that began in Seattle in the late 1930s and continue as the centerpiece of Harbor Days, Olympia's Labor Day weekend festival on the lower Budd Inlet waterfront. Harbor Days tugboat races began in 1975 and represent the longest-continuing series of races in Puget Sound. A book featuring more than 200 historic images would be lacking without a photo of the Sandman, the venerable Olympia tugboat that has been restored and sits at its historical moorage at Budd Inlet's Percival Landing at the southernmost point of Puget Sound. It's fitting that the photo of the Sandman displayed in the book is by Carl Cook, the late Olympia photographer whose love of South Sound and all things maritime can't be disputed. The authors also snuck a picture of the Sandman jockeying for position in the 1980 Harbor Day races onto the cover of their popular book. The tugboat book is the second book Fowler has contributed to Arcadia's Images of America series. The first, "Tall Ships on Puget Sound," was published in 2007. So far, in the race for readership, the tugs have the lead on the tall ships. "Tugboats on Puget Sound" ($21.99) is available at South Sound and online bookstores and through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com or by calling 888-313-2665. • • • At ball games and other public gatherings across the country every day, thousands of people stand and doff their hats when our national anthem is played. Ever wonder about the origins of this custom? Turns out credit goes to Rossell G. O'Brien, Olympia's 15th mayor. The modest debut of the custom occurred Oct. 18, 1893, at a meeting of the Washington Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the U.S.A., a Civil War veterans organization, in the Hotel Bostwick in Tacoma. O'Brien, an Irish-born Civil War veteran who rose to the rank of brigadier general, proposed a motion that everyone stand and remove their hats during the playing of the anthem. Fellow legion members obliged and went on to promote the custom across the country. The custom caught on, but it wasn't until January 1973, nearly 60 years after his death, that the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution recognizing the former O
