The grand-daddy of all the early tugs was built and launched at Arrowhead in 1904 by the Big Bend Lumber Co. Looking more like a small sternwheeler the twin engine, twin screw behemoth could hold 24 cords of wood. The tug had such power it seldom labored causing the steam pressure valve to blow quite often. Considering most of her tows were short in duration the boat was a bit of overkill.
