One of Foss Maritime's most powerful tugs, seen loafing along in Rosario Strait, between Lummi Island and Orcas Island in Washington's San Juan Islands. IMO 9070254, ON 997794. Built in 1994 by Equitable Shipyards Inc. at New Orleans, Louisiana. She has two big EMD 16-710-G7A V-16s -- a total of 8,000 hp. -- driving twin Voith-Schneider cycloidal drive units. Shortly after Lindsey Foss was delivered (if my memory isn't letting me down, it may have been another Foss V-S tug) she made a big splash at the tugboat races at Olympia, racing around the course frontwoards, sideways and backwards -- just as fast any way! :-) (July 9, 2005)
