Description:

Seen after a coating of snow at Heritage Wharf on Lake Union, Seattle, Washington.

The Arthur Foss is an extremely historic vessel for numerous reasons. For one, she is the only 19th century wooden tugboat in the US still in operating condition. She is also the only vessel still in existence that participated in the Alaska Gold Rush of 1898, she starred in the 1933 movie Tugboat Annie, and finally was also the last vessel to escape Wake Island prior to the Japanese invasion during World War II.
