Daring (tug)

The Alaska Barge Line chartered the bar tug Daring of the Grays Harbor Tug Boat Co., utilizing her in towing the barges Washington Washougal, Wallacut and Washtucna from Puget Sound to Alaska with coal, lumber, shingles and piling on the southward voyages and with cement and general cargo on their return. These craft were not converted sailing vessels as were most of the offshore barges then in use, but were built by Daniel Kern as rock carriers for Columbia River jetty work, and were fitted with masts and loading gear for their new service.
