1907 -- Sam Dawe served as mate on the steam tug Commodore photographed here lying off Ketchican, Alaska and in Vancouver. It was built in 1907 and towed barges and log booms until it sank in 1955 in Welcome Pass with no loss of life. After being owned by several towing companies it was renamed Commodore Straits in 1949 when bought by the Straits Towing and Salvage Company.
