Historical Notes

George Schneider stated "A rapidly expanding company in the San Diego area is the Pacific Tugboat Company. To reflect their diversification, they've adopted the name Pacific Marine Group.

They have crewboats, landing craft, cargo barges, crane barges, and a dredging division, as well as doing shipyard work on workboats. Now they're completing their first underwater construction vessel, the OCEAN PROVIDER (569956) She had previously worked for them as the deck barge PTS 270 (indicating her length) and was originally built by Todd Houston in 1975 as the FOSS 274."
