Historische Notizen
On November 16, 1948 the tug Neptune was struck by the steamship Herald of the Morning while manoevering to get a line to her nine miles off the mouth of the Columbia River. The freighter was to have been towed to Puget Sound but the rough seas had caused the steamship break her towline to the Sea Fox. The Neptune was attempting to retrieve the towline when the collision ruptured her hull and this vessel sank rapidly.
In 1973 this vessel was broken up.
