Built in 1889, the Arthur Foss is the oldest wooden-hulled tugboat afloat. She gained worldwide fame when the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie studio leased the vessel for its 1933 production Tugboat Annie, starring Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery.[5] In World War II, Arthur Foss was the last boat to escape before the Battle of Wake Island began in December 1941.[6] Photo: Joe Mabel derivative work: Steven Pavlov, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tugboat_Arthur_Foss_05+.jpg)
