The History of the

Coos King

The Coos King was commissioned by the Government to haul rock barges for the construction of the north and south jetties at Coos Head. The year was 1923. She was constructed of 100% Port Orford cedar which at the time was in huge supply in that part of Oregon. At 52’ long and with her “Huge” Atlas Imperial 110 diesel engine she was the first diesel tug ever built in Coos Bay. She was also the largest wooden tug ever built there. She was actually constructed by the Hilstrom Bros. ship yard. This yard suffered a fire many years later however and so records pertaining to this boat as far as I can find do not exist.

After the jetties were built, (approx. 1930) the King was put to work by numerous lumber companies hauling log rafts down the Coos River. She also during this time carried the duty of Coos Bay pilot boat. During this time she assisted in many ship rescues on Coos Head and at one time saved the waterfront of Coos bay by pulling the burning pier off its pilings and into the bay. I believe this was in the early 40’s. She was re-powered in the 40’s with a 671 jimmy and continued out life as a working tug until 1978. In 78 she was stripped of all equipment and towed out to a mud flat to be burned. My Grandfather who had skippered her for some 25 years bought the salvage rights for a dollar and kept her from being burned and re-floated her and towed her up Catching inlet where she was then passed around for back moorage until 1980, when my grandfather took me up to look at her. I ended up purchasing her and had her trucked to Seattle where between 1981 and 1986 I restored the hull to brand new. She received 4 new frames forward and a new stem and 4 new frames aft as well as all her stern blocking and approx. 45% of her planking was replaced. I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain old growth Port Orford planking from the same mill that milled the original lumber for her in 1923. After that the Northwest wooden boat school was commissioned to build her a new super structure and in 1991 this was installed. Then in 1994 she was fitted with new deck beams and a new deck.
