Shaver Transportation’s tugboat Columbia was built in 1968 by the Nichols Boat Works of Hood River, Oregon, and was repowered in 1983 with Stork Works engines rated at 2,750 horsepower. It is 87 feet long and 28 feet wide with a loaded draft of 11 feet. My dad, Cliff West, photographed it on the Columbia River at Rainier, Oregon, in late 2006 or early 2007.
