It's been a long while since I've done any live figure drawing. I'm in Durham for a short visit; I found a drawing session last night.

The Arthur Foss
The Arthur Foss, docked in Seattle, WA, is the oldest wooden-hulled, 19th century tugboat still afloat. She is 120 feet long with a 24-foot beam and draws 15 feet. She was built in 1889 in Portland, OR, and operated in the Puget Sound towing log rafts and then during the Alaska Gold Rush. In 1933, she was used in the film Tugboat Annie, starring Maureen O-Sullivan, and then in 1940's Tugboat Annie Sails Again, featuring Ronald Reagan.
In 1941, The Arthur Foss began towing barges from Pearl Harbor to Wake Island. She escaped the Japanese invasion by mere hours. After the war, she was returned to civilian service in Washington, and in 1970 she was donated to the Northwest Seaport Museum in Seattle. She was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
