Tacoma Boat Building Company was started by two fishermen, Arne Strom and Haldor Dahl, who "came home from the sea" in 1936. They began building wooden seiners, halibut boats and trollers, those typical of the Pacific Northwest fishing types. In 1941 the partners decided to go into government work and were awarded the prestigious E Award in 1942. By 1946 they had returned to building fishing boats.
