==Foss Maritime==
Foss was founded in 1889 by Thea Foss in Tacoma, Washington where Thea started out buying a single rowboat for five dollars and painting it white with green trim. She sold and rented out boats to appealing crowds of fishermen for 50 cents a day. Thea tripled her profit and then sold it for fifteen dollars. Her easy profit boosted her business confidence to begin a full round tugboat company. Her signature styling of a tugboat was having white coating with a green trim around the skirt. This gave the Foss family the finances they needed to propel into a functioning business. During this point of time, they used many of their rowboats for ferrying purposes. In 1904, their family owned name became transformed into the Foss Launch and Tow Co. Today Foss is one of the top maritime companies known on the West Coast. They continue to revolutionize maritime business with their green innovative ideas.
