Tidewater Tugboats started its existence in 1942 when the Tidewater-Shaver Transportation Company was established to become a full-fledged, independent tug and barge Transportation Company under the name of Tidewater Barge Lines in 1960. Tillamook was Tidewater’s first ocean-going tugboat, which was constructed under supervision of Ray Hackney who later became a president of the company.
The company’s most famous tugboats added from 1974 to 1996 were Captain Bob, Defiance, Invader, Maverick or Tidewater and grain/petroleum barges such as Glenn, Atlas or Pioneer. To widen the already large fleet of tugboats and barges, Tidewater decided to acquire Knappton’s and Columbia Marine Lines’ assets in 1984 and 1987, to add more than 30 ships to the fleet.
