Peter Foss (3) (tugboat)

The third tug to bear the name Peter Foss left the Main Iron Works shipyard at Houma, Louisiana in late January 1978 complete and ready for acceptance trials on the Mississippi River. After satisfactory test runs, she became part of the Foss fleet in early, February 1978. The Peter (3) was the fifty and last of her class of island and coastwise tugs built for Foss-Dillingham. She was 98 feet in length with a beam of 32 feat. Her primary service was to be at Long Beach, California. Michael Skalley, The Peter Foss (3), Foss, ninety years of towboating.
