Copy of customer print. Artist Winfield Brown's rendition of the tug, Brynn Foss, as it moves swiftly through the waters of Commencement Bay. Once one of the most powerful tugs operating in the Puget Sound, the Brynn Foss did yeoman service for more than 25 years, primarily in ship-assisting. She was equipped with an 800 hp Nordberg diesel, hydraulic steering gear, air-powered towing winch and powerful fire-monitor for assisting at waterfront fires. In keeping with the company tradition of giving each vessel a Foss family name, she was named the "Brynn Foss" after the new daughter of Drew and Donna Foss. Date of original painting is unknown; copy was ordered in June, 1961. (Foss: Ninety Years of Towboating, p. 182-83)
