Maggie B was designed by the well-known naval architect William Garden and built by Jacobs Brothers on Lake Union in 1961. She was first named Tyee and worked for Weyerhaeuser on the Snohomish River. Then, John Magnuson of Port Orchard worked her as a log patrol boat named Chippewa in south Puget Sound.

The current owners have cruised her since 1975 with their family, all over the Puget Sound, the San Juan's, Western Canada and as far up as Alaska.

Maggie B has also participated in The Harbor Days Festival in Olympia, WA since 1983, appearing 18 times from 1983-2015 where the owners won several of the small tug class races. She was the featured boat in 2015. (Binder available for viewing during showings shows all wins with lots of pictures)

Maggie B is featured in the book 'Tugs at the Capital City II'. (Book is onboard for viewing during showings)

The current owners ran into William Garden at the Victoria BC 'Garden Party' who told them: "Everybody loves a Tugboat!"

Maggie B is in run-ready condition, has been extremely well cared for and is ready to cruise or race other Tugboats at Harbor Days in Olympia. Wherever you take the Maggie B you will go in style and comfort.
