Historical Background: 

  • Originally built in 1943 by Ira S. Bushey and Sons in Brooklyn, New York, as the YTB-272 “Iwana” for the United States Navy, this tug was allocated to the 1st Naval District upon delivery.
  • Later redesignated as YTM-272 “Iwana.”
  • In 1974, the tug was acquired by the Pioneer Towing Company of Kenmore, Washington, and renamed the George R. It was subsequently renamed the Polar Crusader under the same ownership.
  • In 1977, the tug was acquired by the Dunlap Towing Company of La Conner, Washington, where it was renamed the Skagit Chief.
  • After its retirement, the tug was sold and eventually became a liveaboard in St. Helens, Oregon.
  • In 2020, it was renamed Tuggy Time.

This storied past adds to the charm and character of this one-of-a-kind vessel, making it a true collector’s item and a home with a history as rich as the river it calls home.
